I am receiving warning in Facebook Application using PHP SDK

You need to ensure that any code that modifies the HTTP headers is executed before the headers are sent. This includes statements like session_start(). The headers will be sent automatically when any HTML is output.

Your problem here is that you're sending the HTML ouput at the top of your page before you've executed any PHP at all.

Move the session_start() to the top of your document :

<?php    session_start(); ?> <html> <head> <title>PHP SDK</title> </head> <body> <?php require_once 'src/facebook.php';    // more PHP code here. 

Using Lato fonts in my css (@font-face)

Well, you're missing the letter 'd' in url("~/fonts/Lato-Bol.ttf"); - but assuming that's not it, I would open up your page with developer tools in Chrome and make sure there's no errors loading any of the files (you would probably see an issue in the JavaScript console, or you can check the Network tab and see if anything is red).

(I don't see anything obviously wrong with the code you have posted above)

Other things to check: 1) Are you including your CSS file in your html above the lines where you are trying to use the font-family style? 2) What do you see in the CSS panel in the developer tools for that div? Is font-family: lato crossed out?

Adding a UISegmentedControl to UITableView

   self.tableView.tableHeaderView = segmentedControl; 

If you want it to obey your width and height properly though enclose your segmentedControl in a UIView first as the tableView likes to mangle your view a bit to fit the width.

How to implement a simple scenario the OO way

The Chapter object should have reference to the book it came from so I would suggest something like chapter.getBook().getTitle();

Your database table structure should have a books table and a chapters table with columns like:

books

  • id
  • book specific info
  • etc

chapters

  • id
  • book_id
  • chapter specific info
  • etc

Then to reduce the number of queries use a join table in your search query.

Crop image to specified size and picture location

You would need to do something like this. I am typing this off the top of my head, so this may not be 100% correct.

CGColorSpaceRef colorSpace = CGColorSpaceCreateDeviceRGB(); CGContextRef context = CGBitmapContextCreate(NULL, 640, 360, 8, 4 * width, colorSpace, kCGImageAlphaPremultipliedFirst); CGColorSpaceRelease(colorSpace);  CGContextDrawImage(context, CGRectMake(0,-160,640,360), cgImgFromAVCaptureSession);  CGImageRef image = CGBitmapContextCreateImage(context); UIImage* myCroppedImg = [UIImage imageWithCGImage:image]; CGContextRelease(context);       

Better solution without exluding fields from Binding

You should not use your domain models in your views. ViewModels are the correct way to do it.

You need to map your domain model's necessary fields to viewmodel and then use this viewmodel in your controllers. This way you will have the necessery abstraction in your application.

If you never heard of viewmodels, take a look at this.

How to split a string in two and store it in a field

I would suggest the following:

String[] parsedInput = str.split("\n"); String firstName = parsedInput[0].split(": ")[1]; String lastName = parsedInput[1].split(": ")[1]; myMap.put(firstName,lastName); 

How to do perspective fixing?

The simple solution is to just remap coordinates from the original to the final image, copying pixels from one coordinate space to the other, rounding off as necessary -- which may result in some pixels being copied several times adjacent to each other, and other pixels being skipped, depending on whether you're stretching or shrinking (or both) in either dimension. Make sure your copying iterates through the destination space, so all pixels are covered there even if they're painted more than once, rather than thru the source which may skip pixels in the output.

The better solution involves calculating the corresponding source coordinate without rounding, and then using its fractional position between pixels to compute an appropriate average of the (typically) four pixels surrounding that location. This is essentially a filtering operation, so you lose some resolution -- but the result looks a LOT better to the human eye; it does a much better job of retaining small details and avoids creating straight-line artifacts which humans find objectionable.

Note that the same basic approach can be used to remap flat images onto any other shape, including 3D surface mapping.

Ruby - ignore "exit" in code

loop {   begin     Bar.new   rescue SystemExit     p $!  #: #<SystemExit: exit>   end } 

This will print #<SystemExit: exit> in an infinite loop, without ever exiting.

Keep placeholder text in UITextField on input in IOS

Instead of using the placeholder text, you'll want to set the actual text property of the field to MM/YYYY, set the delegate of the text field and listen for this method:

- (BOOL)textField:(UITextField *)textField shouldChangeCharactersInRange:(NSRange)range replacementString:(NSString *)string {     // update the text of the label } 

Inside that method, you can figure out what the user has typed as they type, which will allow you to update the label accordingly.

python variable NameError

Initialize tSize to

tSize = ""  

before your if block to be safe. Also in your else case, put tSize in quotes so it is a string not an int. Also also you are comparing strings to ints.

Where do I put a single filter that filters methods in two controllers in Rails

Two ways.

i. You can put it in ApplicationController and add the filters in the controller

    class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base       def filter_method       end     end      class FirstController < ApplicationController       before_filter :filter_method     end      class SecondController < ApplicationController       before_filter :filter_method     end 

But the problem here is that this method will be added to all the controllers since all of them extend from application controller

ii. Create a parent controller and define it there

 class ParentController < ApplicationController   def filter_method   end  end  class FirstController < ParentController   before_filter :filter_method end  class SecondController < ParentController   before_filter :filter_method end 

I have named it as parent controller but you can come up with a name that fits your situation properly.

You can also define the filter method in a module and include it in the controllers where you need the filter

grep's at sign caught as whitespace

After some time with Google I asked on the ask ubuntu chat room.

A user there was king enough to help me find the solution I was looking for and i wanted to share so that any following suers running into this may find it:

grep -P "(^|\s)abc(\s|$)" gives the result I was looking for. -P is an experimental implementation of perl regexps.

grepping for abc and then using filters like grep -v '@abc' (this is far from perfect...) should also work, but my patch does something similar.

Gradle - Move a folder from ABC to XYZ

Your task declaration is incorrectly combining the Copy task type and project.copy method, resulting in a task that has nothing to copy and thus never runs. Besides, Copy isn't the right choice for renaming a directory. There is no Gradle API for renaming, but a bit of Groovy code (leveraging Java's File API) will do. Assuming Project1 is the project directory:

task renABCToXYZ {     doLast {         file("ABC").renameTo(file("XYZ"))     } } 

Looking at the bigger picture, it's probably better to add the renaming logic (i.e. the doLast task action) to the task that produces ABC.

C# - insert values from file into two arrays

string[] lines = File.ReadAllLines("sample.txt"); List<string> list1 = new List<string>(); List<string> list2 = new List<string>();  foreach (var line in lines) {     string[] values = line.Split(new char[] { ' ' }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);     list1.Add(values[0]);     list2.Add(values[1]);  } 

Implement specialization in ER diagram

So I assume your permissions table has a foreign key reference to admin_accounts table. If so because of referential integrity you will only be able to add permissions for account ids exsiting in the admin accounts table. Which also means that you wont be able to enter a user_account_id [assuming there are no duplicates!]

Accessing AppDelegate from framework?

If you're creating a framework the whole idea is to make it portable. Tying a framework to the app delegate defeats the purpose of building a framework. What is it you need the app delegate for?

Instantiating a generic type

No, and the fact that you want to seems like a bad idea. Do you really need a default constructor like this?

Does the target directory for a git clone have to match the repo name?

Yes, it is possible:

git clone https://github.com/pitosalas/st3_packages Packages 

You can specify the local root directory when using git clone.

<directory> 

The name of a new directory to clone into.
The "humanish" part of the source repository is used if no directory is explicitly given (repo for /path/to/repo.git and foo for host.xz:foo/.git).
Cloning into an existing directory is only allowed if the directory is empty.


As Chris comments, you can then rename that top directory.
Git only cares about the .git within said top folder, which you can get with various commands:

git rev-parse --show-toplevel git rev-parse --git-dir 

OS X Sprite Kit Game Optimal Default Window Size

You should target the smallest, not the largest, supported pixel resolution by the devices your app can run on.

Say if there's an actual Mac computer that can run OS X 10.9 and has a native screen resolution of only 1280x720 then that's the resolution you should focus on. Any higher and your game won't correctly run on this device and you could as well remove that device from your supported devices list.

You can rely on upscaling to match larger screen sizes, but you can't rely on downscaling to preserve possibly important image details such as text or smaller game objects.

The next most important step is to pick a fitting aspect ratio, be it 4:3 or 16:9 or 16:10, that ideally is the native aspect ratio on most of the supported devices. Make sure your game only scales to fit on devices with a different aspect ratio.

You could scale to fill but then you must ensure that on all devices the cropped areas will not negatively impact gameplay or the use of the app in general (ie text or buttons outside the visible screen area). This will be harder to test as you'd actually have to have one of those devices or create a custom build that crops the view accordingly.

Alternatively you can design multiple versions of your game for specific and very common screen resolutions to provide the best game experience from 13" through 27" displays. Optimized designs for iMac (desktop) and a Macbook (notebook) devices make the most sense, it'll be harder to justify making optimized versions for 13" and 15" plus 21" and 27" screens.

But of course this depends a lot on the game. For example a tile-based world game could simply provide a larger viewing area onto the world on larger screen resolutions rather than scaling the view up. Provided that this does not alter gameplay, like giving the player an unfair advantage (specifically in multiplayer).

You should provide @2x images for the Retina Macbook Pro and future Retina Macs.

How to get parameter value for date/time column from empty MaskedTextBox

You're storing the .Text properties of the textboxes directly into the database, this doesn't work. The .Text properties are Strings (i.e. simple text) and not typed as DateTime instances. Do the conversion first, then it will work.

Do this for each date parameter:

Dim bookIssueDate As DateTime = DateTime.ParseExact( txtBookDateIssue.Text, "dd/MM/yyyy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture ) cmd.Parameters.Add( New OleDbParameter("@Date_Issue", bookIssueDate ) ) 

Note that this code will crash/fail if a user enters an invalid date, e.g. "64/48/9999", I suggest using DateTime.TryParse or DateTime.TryParseExact, but implementing that is an exercise for the reader.

SQL permissions for roles

SQL-Server follows the principle of "Least Privilege" -- you must (explicitly) grant permissions.

'does it mean that they wont be able to update 4 and 5 ?'

If your users in the doctor role are only in the doctor role, then yes.

However, if those users are also in other roles (namely, other roles that do have access to 4 & 5), then no.

Please help me convert this script to a simple image slider

Problems only surface when I am I trying to give the first loaded content an active state

Does this mean that you want to add a class to the first button?

$('.o-links').click(function(e) {   // ... }).first().addClass('O_Nav_Current'); 

instead of using IDs for the slider's items and resetting html contents you can use classes and indexes:

CSS:

.image-area {     width: 100%;     height: auto;     display: none; }  .image-area:first-of-type {     display: block; } 

JavaScript:

var $slides = $('.image-area'),     $btns = $('a.o-links');  $btns.on('click', function (e) {     var i = $btns.removeClass('O_Nav_Current').index(this);     $(this).addClass('O_Nav_Current');      $slides.filter(':visible').fadeOut(1000, function () {         $slides.eq(i).fadeIn(1000);     });      e.preventDefault();  }).first().addClass('O_Nav_Current');

Are all Spring Framework Java Configuration injection examples buggy?

In your test, you are comparing the two TestParent beans, not the single TestedChild bean.

Also, Spring proxies your @Configuration class so that when you call one of the @Bean annotated methods, it caches the result and always returns the same object on future calls.

See here:

Is it possible to change the content HTML5 alert messages?

Yes:

<input required title="Enter something OR ELSE." /> 

The title attribute will be used to notify the user of a problem.

Java and unlimited decimal places?

I believe that you are looking for the java.lang.BigDecimal class.

Read input from a JOptionPane.showInputDialog box

Your problem is that, if the user clicks cancel, operationType is null and thus throws a NullPointerException. I would suggest that you move

if (operationType.equalsIgnoreCase("Q")) 

to the beginning of the group of if statements, and then change it to

if(operationType==null||operationType.equalsIgnoreCase("Q")). 

This will make the program exit just as if the user had selected the quit option when the cancel button is pushed.

Then, change all the rest of the ifs to else ifs. This way, once the program sees whether or not the input is null, it doesn't try to call anything else on operationType. This has the added benefit of making it more efficient - once the program sees that the input is one of the options, it won't bother checking it against the rest of them.

Two Page Login with Spring Security 3.2.x

There should be three pages here:

  1. Initial login page with a form that asks for your username, but not your password.
  2. You didn't mention this one, but I'd check whether the client computer is recognized, and if not, then challenge the user with either a CAPTCHA or else a security question. Otherwise the phishing site can simply use the tendered username to query the real site for the security image, which defeats the purpose of having a security image. (A security question is probably better here since with a CAPTCHA the attacker could have humans sitting there answering the CAPTCHAs to get at the security images. Depends how paranoid you want to be.)
  3. A page after that that displays the security image and asks for the password.

I don't see this short, linear flow being sufficiently complex to warrant using Spring Web Flow.

I would just use straight Spring Web MVC for steps 1 and 2. I wouldn't use Spring Security for the initial login form, because Spring Security's login form expects a password and a login processing URL. Similarly, Spring Security doesn't provide special support for CAPTCHAs or security questions, so you can just use Spring Web MVC once again.

You can handle step 3 using Spring Security, since now you have a username and a password. The form login page should display the security image, and it should include the user-provided username as a hidden form field to make Spring Security happy when the user submits the login form. The only way to get to step 3 is to have a successful POST submission on step 1 (and 2 if applicable).

Getting all files in directory with ajax

Javascript which runs on the client machine can't access the local disk file system due to security restrictions.

If you want to access the client's disk file system then look into an embedded client application which you serve up from your webpage, like an Applet, Silverlight or something like that. If you like to access the server's disk file system, then look for the solution in the server side corner using a server side programming language like Java, PHP, etc, whatever your webserver is currently using/supporting.

FragmentActivity to Fragment

first of all;

a Fragment must be inside a FragmentActivity, that's the first rule,

a FragmentActivity is quite similar to a standart Activity that you already know, besides having some Fragment oriented methods

second thing about Fragments, is that there is one important method you MUST call, wich is onCreateView, where you inflate your layout, think of it as the setContentLayout

here is an example:

    @Override public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {     mView       = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_layout, container, false);       return mView; } 

and continu your work based on that mView, so to find a View by id, call mView.findViewById(..);


for the FragmentActivity part:

the xml part "must" have a FrameLayout in order to inflate a fragment in it

        <FrameLayout             android:id="@+id/content_frame"             android:layout_width="match_parent"             android:layout_height="match_parent"  >         </FrameLayout> 

as for the inflation part

getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().replace(R.id.content_frame, new YOUR_FRAGMENT, "TAG").commit();


begin with these, as there is tons of other stuf you must know about fragments and fragment activities, start of by reading something about it (like life cycle) at the android developer site

RegisterStartupScript from code behind not working when Update Panel is used

You need to use ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript for Ajax.

protected void ButtonPP_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {     if (radioBtnACO.SelectedIndex < 0)     {         string csname1 = "PopupScript";          var cstext1 = new StringBuilder();         cstext1.Append("alert('Please Select Criteria!')");          ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(this, GetType(), csname1,             cstext1.ToString(), true);     } } 

Laravel 4 with Sentry 2 add user to a group on Registration

Somehow, where you are using Sentry, you're not using its Facade, but the class itself. When you call a class through a Facade you're not really using statics, it's just looks like you are.

Do you have this:

use Cartalyst\Sentry\Sentry; 

In your code?

Ok, but if this line is working for you:

$user = $this->sentry->register(array(     'username' => e($data['username']),     'email' => e($data['email']),      'password' => e($data['password'])     )); 

So you already have it instantiated and you can surely do:

$adminGroup = $this->sentry->findGroupById(5); 

Drag and drop menuitems

jQuery UI draggable and droppable are the two plugins I would use to achieve this effect. As for the insertion marker, I would investigate modifying the div (or container) element that was about to have content dropped into it. It should be possible to modify the border in some way or add a JavaScript/jQuery listener that listens for the hover (element about to be dropped) event and modifies the border or adds an image of the insertion marker in the right place.

make UITableViewCell selectable only while editing

Have you tried setting the selection properties of your tableView like this:

tableView.allowsMultipleSelection = NO; tableView.allowsMultipleSelectionDuringEditing = YES; tableView.allowsSelection = NO; tableView.allowsSelectionDuringEditing YES; 

If you want more fine-grain control over when selection is allowed you can override - (NSIndexPath *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView willSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath in your UITableView delegate. The documentation states:

Return Value An index-path object that confirms or alters the selected row. Return an NSIndexPath object other than indexPath if you want another cell to be selected. Return nil if you don't want the row selected. 

You can have this method return nil in cases where you don't want the selection to happen.

Comparing two joda DateTime instances

This code (example) :

    Chronology ch1 = GregorianChronology.getInstance();     Chronology ch2 = ISOChronology.getInstance();      DateTime dt = new DateTime("2013-12-31T22:59:21+01:00",ch1);     DateTime dt2 = new DateTime("2013-12-31T22:59:21+01:00",ch2);      System.out.println(dt);     System.out.println(dt2);      boolean b = dt.equals(dt2);      System.out.println(b); 

Will print :

2013-12-31T16:59:21.000-05:00 2013-12-31T16:59:21.000-05:00 false 

You are probably comparing two DateTimes with same date but different Chronology.

How do I show a message in the foreach loop?

You are looking to see if a single value is in an array. Use in_array.

However note that case is important, as are any leading or trailing spaces. Use var_dump to find out the length of the strings too, and see if they fit.

Invalid hook call. Hooks can only be called inside of the body of a function component

React linter assumes every method starting with use as hooks and hooks doesn't work inside classes. by renaming const useStyles into anything else that doesn't starts with use like const myStyles you are good to go.

Update:

makeStyles is hook api and you can't use that inside classes. you can use styled components API. see here

This is solution is pretty simple and you don't need to override es-lint warnings. Just maintain a flag to check whether component is mounted or not.

React Native Error: ENOSPC: System limit for number of file watchers reached

You can fix it, that increasing the amount of inotify watchers.

If you are not interested in the technical details and only want to get Listen to work:

  • If you are running Debian, RedHat, or another similar Linux distribution, run the following in a terminal:

    $ echo fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288 | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf && sudo sysctl -p

  • If you are running ArchLinux, run the following command instead

    $ echo fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288 | sudo tee /etc/sysctl.d/40-max-user-watches.conf && sudo sysctl --system

Then paste it in your terminal and press on enter to run it.


The Technical Details

Listen uses inotify by default on Linux to monitor directories for changes. It's not uncommon to encounter a system limit on the number of files you can monitor. For example, Ubuntu Lucid's (64bit) inotify limit is set to 8192.

You can get your current inotify file watch limit by executing:

$ cat /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches

When this limit is not enough to monitor all files inside a directory, the limit must be increased for Listen to work properly.

You can set a new limit temporary with:

$ sudo sysctl fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288
$ sudo sysctl -p

If you like to make your limit permanent, use:

$ echo fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288 | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf
$ sudo sysctl -p

You may also need to pay attention to the values of max_queued_events and max_user_instances if listen keeps on complaining.

Python: 'ModuleNotFoundError' when trying to import module from imported package

FIRST, if you want to be able to access man1.py from man1test.py AND manModules.py from man1.py, you need to properly setup your files as packages and modules.

Packages are a way of structuring Python’s module namespace by using “dotted module names”. For example, the module name A.B designates a submodule named B in a package named A.

...

When importing the package, Python searches through the directories on sys.path looking for the package subdirectory.

The __init__.py files are required to make Python treat the directories as containing packages; this is done to prevent directories with a common name, such as string, from unintentionally hiding valid modules that occur later on the module search path.

You need to set it up to something like this:

man
|- __init__.py
|- Mans
   |- __init__.py
   |- man1.py
|- MansTest
   |- __init.__.py
   |- SoftLib
      |- Soft
         |- __init__.py
         |- SoftWork
            |- __init__.py
            |- manModules.py
      |- Unittests
         |- __init__.py
         |- man1test.py

SECOND, for the "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'Soft'" error caused by from ...Mans import man1 in man1test.py, the documented solution to that is to add man1.py to sys.path since Mans is outside the MansTest package. See The Module Search Path from the Python documentation. But if you don't want to modify sys.path directly, you can also modify PYTHONPATH:

sys.path is initialized from these locations:

  • The directory containing the input script (or the current directory when no file is specified).
  • PYTHONPATH (a list of directory names, with the same syntax as the shell variable PATH).
  • The installation-dependent default.

THIRD, for from ...MansTest.SoftLib import Soft which you said "was to facilitate the aforementioned import statement in man1.py", that's now how imports work. If you want to import Soft.SoftLib in man1.py, you have to setup man1.py to find Soft.SoftLib and import it there directly.

With that said, here's how I got it to work.

man1.py:

from Soft.SoftWork.manModules import *
# no change to import statement but need to add Soft to PYTHONPATH

def foo():
    print("called foo in man1.py")
    print("foo call module1 from manModules: " + module1())

man1test.py

# no need for "from ...MansTest.SoftLib import Soft" to facilitate importing..
from ...Mans import man1

man1.foo()

manModules.py

def module1():
    return "module1 in manModules"

Terminal output:

$ python3 -m man.MansTest.Unittests.man1test
Traceback (most recent call last):
  ...
    from ...Mans import man1
  File "/temp/man/Mans/man1.py", line 2, in <module>
    from Soft.SoftWork.manModules import *
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'Soft'

$ PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/temp/man/MansTest/SoftLib
$ export PYTHONPATH
$ echo $PYTHONPATH
:/temp/man/MansTest/SoftLib
$ python3 -m man.MansTest.Unittests.man1test
called foo in man1.py
foo called module1 from manModules: module1 in manModules 

As a suggestion, maybe re-think the purpose of those SoftLib files. Is it some sort of "bridge" between man1.py and man1test.py? The way your files are setup right now, I don't think it's going to work as you expect it to be. Also, it's a bit confusing for the code-under-test (man1.py) to be importing stuff from under the test folder (MansTest).

How do I prevent Conda from activating the base environment by default?

As mentionned in comments: you need a way to send your static files to the client. This can be achieved with a reverse proxy like Nginx, or simply using express.static().

Put all your "static" (css, js, images) files in a folder dedicated to it, different from where you put your "views" (html files in your case). I'll call it static for the example. Once it's done, add this line in your server code:

app.use("/static", express.static('./static/'));

This will effectively serve every file in your "static" folder via the /static route.

Querying your index.js file in the client thus becomes:

<script src="static/index.js"></script>

useState set method not reflecting change immediately

// replace
return <p>hello</p>;
// with
return <p>{JSON.stringify(movies)}</p>;

Now you should see, that your code actually does work. What does not work is the console.log(movies). This is because movies points to the old state. If you move your console.log(movies) outside of useEffect, right above the return, you will see the updated movies object.

WARNING in budgets, maximum exceeded for initial

Open angular.json file and find budgets keyword.

It should look like:

    "budgets": [
       {
          "type": "initial",
          "maximumWarning": "2mb",
          "maximumError": "5mb"
       }
    ]

As you’ve probably guessed you can increase the maximumWarning value to prevent this warning, i.e.:

    "budgets": [
       {
          "type": "initial",
          "maximumWarning": "4mb", <===
          "maximumError": "5mb"
       }
    ]

What does budgets mean?

A performance budget is a group of limits to certain values that affect site performance, that may not be exceeded in the design and development of any web project.

In our case budget is the limit for bundle sizes.

Pylint "unresolved import" error in Visual Studio Code

I have one library which errs out when trying to include it using the Jedi language service and works fine without it (i.e. the C# one).

The library is jsonslicer and it does depend on an external C library I installed into /usr/local/lib. Could that have something to do with it?

I installed the Jedi service and the library in my Conda environment and used that environment within Visual Studio. It works fine at runtime and in my terminal, but not when checking for problems in my source files and it shows up as an error.

Can I set state inside a useEffect hook

? 1. Can I set state inside a useEffect hook?

In principle, you can set state freely where you need it - including inside useEffect and even during rendering. Just make sure to avoid infinite loops by settting Hook deps properly and/or state conditionally.


? 2. Lets say I have some state that is dependent on some other state. Is it appropriate to create a hook that observes A and sets B inside the useEffect hook?

You just described the classic use case for useReducer:

useReducer is usually preferable to useState when you have complex state logic that involves multiple sub-values or when the next state depends on the previous one. (React docs)

When setting a state variable depends on the current value of another state variable, you might want to try replacing them both with useReducer. [...] When you find yourself writing setSomething(something => ...), it’s a good time to consider using a reducer instead. (Dan Abramov, Overreacted blog)

? 3. Will the effects cascade such that, when I click the button, the first effect will fire, causing b to change, causing the second effect to fire, before the next render?

useEffect always runs after the render is committed and DOM changes are applied. The first effect fires, changes b and causes a re-render. After this render has completed, second effect will run due to b changes.

? 4. Are there any performance downsides to structuring code like this?

Yes. By wrapping the state change of b in a separate useEffect for a, the browser has an additional layout/paint phase - these effects are potentially visible for the user. If there is no way you want give useReducer a try, you could change b state together with a directly:

What is useState() in React?

Hooks are a new feature in React v16.7.0-alpha useState is the “Hook”. useState() set the default value of the any variable and manage in function component(PureComponent functions). ex : const [count, setCount] = useState(0); set the default value of count 0. and u can use setCount to increment or decrement the value. onClick={() => setCount(count + 1)} increment the count value.DOC

How to call loading function with React useEffect only once

we developed a module on GitHub that has hooks for fetching data so you can use it like this for your purpose:

import { useFetching } from "react-concurrent";

const app = () => {
  const { data, isLoading, error , refetch } = useFetching(() =>
    fetch("http://example.com"),
  );
};

You can fork that out, but any PRs are welcome. https://github.com/hosseinmd/react-concurrent#react-concurrent

Space between Column's children in Flutter

There are many ways of doing it, I'm listing a few here.

  1. Use Container and give some height:

    Column(
      children: <Widget>[
        Widget1(),
        Container(height: 10), // set height
        Widget2(),
      ],
    )
    
  2. Use Spacer

    Column(
      children: <Widget>[
        Widget1(),
        Spacer(), // use Spacer
        Widget2(),
      ],
    )
    
  3. Use Expanded

    Column(
      children: <Widget>[
        Widget1(),
        Expanded(child: SizedBox()), // use Expanded
        Widget2(),
      ],
    )
    
  4. Use mainAxisAlignment

    Column(
      mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.spaceAround, // mainAxisAlignment
      children: <Widget>[
        Widget1(),
        Widget2(),
      ],
    )
    
  5. Use Wrap

    Wrap(
      direction: Axis.vertical, // make sure to set this
      spacing: 20, // set your spacing
      children: <Widget>[
        Widget1(),
        Widget2(),
      ],
    )
    

How do I install Java on Mac OSX allowing version switching?

IMHO, There is no need to install all the additional applications/packages.

Check available versions using the command:

> /usr/libexec/java_home -V
Matching Java Virtual Machines (8):
    11, x86_64: "Java SE 11-ea" /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-11.jdk/Contents/Home
    10.0.2, x86_64: "Java SE 10.0.2"    /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-10.0.2.jdk/Contents/Home
    9.0.1, x86_64:  "Java SE 9.0.1" /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-9.0.1.jdk/Contents/Home
    1.8.0_181-zulu-8.31.0.1, x86_64:    "Zulu 8"    /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/zulu-8.jdk/Contents/Home
    1.8.0_151, x86_64:  "Java SE 8" /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_151.jdk/Contents/Home
    1.7.0_80, x86_64:   "Java SE 7" /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_80.jdk/Contents/Home
    1.6.0_65-b14-468, x86_64:   "Java SE 6" /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home
    1.6.0_65-b14-468, i386: "Java SE 6" /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home

Now if you want to pick Azul JDK 8 in the above list, and NOT Oracle's Java SE 8, invoke the command as below:

> /usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.8.0_181
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/zulu-8.jdk/Contents/Home

To pick Oracle's Java SE 8 you would invoke the command:

> /usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.8.0_151
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_151.jdk/Contents/Home

As you can see the version number provided shall be the unique set of strings: 1.8.0_181 vs 1.8.0_151

Flutter- wrapping text

If it's a single text widget that you want to wrap, you can either use Flexible or Expanded widgets.

Expanded(
  child: Text('Some lengthy text for testing'),
)

or

Flexible(
  child: Text('Some lengthy text for testing'),
)

For multiple widgets, you may choose Wrap widget. For further details checkout this

Confirm password validation in Angular 6

Just do a standard custom validator and verify first if the form itself is defined, otherwise it will throw an error that says the form is undefined, because at first it will try to run the validator before the form is constructed.

// form builder
private buildForm(): void {
    this.changePasswordForm = this.fb.group({
        currentPass: ['', Validators.required],
        newPass: ['', Validators.required],
        confirmPass: ['', [Validators.required, this.passwordMatcher.bind(this)]],
    });
}

// confirm new password validator
private passwordMatcher(control: FormControl): { [s: string]: boolean } {
    if (
        this.changePasswordForm &&
        (control.value !== this.changePasswordForm.controls.newPass.value)
    ) {
        return { passwordNotMatch: true };
    }
    return null;
}

It just checks that the new password field has the same value that the confirm password field. Is a validator specific for the confirm password field instead of the whole form.

You just have to verify that this.changePasswordForm is defined because otherwise it will throw an undefined error when the form is built.

It works just fine, without creating directives or error state matchers.

Angular 6: saving data to local storage

How to change package name in flutter?

You can follow this official documentation by Google: https://developer.android.com/studio/build/application-id.html

Application ID should be changed in Build.gradle, while package name can be changed in AndroidManifest.xml.

However one should be careful changing package name.

Also while re uploading the app, one should be careful since it matches the application ID of previously uploaded app with new upload.

Rounded Corners Image in Flutter

Google Recaptcha v3 example demo

I have seen most of the articles that don't work properly that's why new developers and professional developers get confused about it.

I am explaining to you in a very simple way. In this code, I am generating a google Recaptcha token at the client side at every 3 seconds of time interval because the token is valid for only a few minutes that's why if any user takes time to fill the form then it may be expired.

First I have an index.php file where I am going to write HTML and JavaScript code.

    <!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
   <head>
      <title>Google Recaptcha V3</title>
   </head>
   <body>
      <h1>Google Recaptcha V3</h1>
      <form action="recaptcha.php" method="post">
         <label>Name</label>
         <input type="text" name="name" id="name">
         <input type="hidden" name="token" id="token" /> 
         <input type="hidden" name="action" id="action" /> 
         <input type="submit" name="submit">
      </form>
      <script src="https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js?render=put your site key here"></script>
      <script  src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.4.1.min.js"></script>
      <script type="text/javascript">
         $(document).ready(function(){
            setInterval(function(){
            grecaptcha.ready(function() {
                grecaptcha.execute('put your site key here', {action: 'application_form'}).then(function(token) {
                    $('#token').val(token);
                    $('#action').val('application_form');
                });
            });
            }, 3000);
         });

      </script>
   </body>
</html>

Next, I have created recaptcha.php file to execute it at the server side

<?php

if ($_POST['submit']) {
    $name   = $_POST['name'];
    $token  = $_POST['token'];
    $action = $_POST['action'];

    $curlData = array(
        'secret' => 'put your secret key here',
        'response' => $token
    );

    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/siteverify");
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, http_build_query($curlData));
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
    $curlResponse = curl_exec($ch);

    $captchaResponse = json_decode($curlResponse, true);

    if ($captchaResponse['success'] == '1' && $captchaResponse['action'] == $action && $captchaResponse['score'] >= 0.5 && $captchaResponse['hostname'] == $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']) {
        echo 'Form Submitted Successfully';
    } else {
        echo 'You are not a human';
    }
}

How do I install the Nuget provider for PowerShell on a unconnected machine so I can install a nuget package from the PS command line?

I accepted trebleCode's answer, but I wanted to provide a bit more detail regarding the steps I took to install the nupkg of interest pswindowsupdate.2.0.0.4.nupkg on my unconnected Win 7 machine by way of following trebleCode's answer.

First: after digging around a bit, I think I found the MS docs that trebleCode refers to:

Bootstrap the NuGet provider and NuGet.exe

Install-PackageProvider

To continue, as trebleCode stated, I did the following

Install NuGet provider on my connected machine

On a connected machine (Win 10 machine), from the PS command line, I ran Install-PackageProvider -Name NuGet -RequiredVersion 2.8.5.201 -Force. The Nuget software was obtained from the 'Net and installed on my local connected machine.

After the install I found the NuGet provider software at C:\Program Files\PackageManagement\ProviderAssemblies (Note: the folder name \ProviderAssemblies as opposed to \ReferenceAssemblies was the one minor difference relative to trebleCode's answer.

The provider software is in a folder structure like this:

C:\Program Files\PackageManagement\ProviderAssemblies
   \NuGet
      \2.8.5.208
         \Microsoft.PackageManagement.NuGetProvider.dll

Install NuGet provider on my unconnected machine

I copied the \NuGet folder (and all its children) from the connected machine onto a thumb drive and copied it to C:\Program Files\PackageManagement\ProviderAssemblies on my unconnected (Win 7) machine

I started PS (v5) on my unconnected (Win 7) machine and ran Import-PackageProvider -Name NuGet -RequiredVersion 2.8.5.201 to import the provider to the current PowerShell session.

Create local repository on my unconnected machine

On unconnected (Win 7) machine, I created a folder to serve as my PS repository (say, c:\users\foo\Documents\PSRepository)

I registered the repo: Register-PSRepository -Name fooPsRepository -SourceLocation c:\users\foo\Documents\PSRepository -InstallationPolicy Trusted

Install the NuGet package

I obtained and copied the nupkg pswindowsupdate.2.0.0.4.nupkg to c:\users\foo\Documents\PSRepository on my unconnected Win7 machine

I learned the name of the module by executing Find-Module -Repository fooPsRepository

jwt check if token expired

// Pass in function expiration date to check token 
function checkToken(exp) {
    if (Date.now() <= exp * 1000) {

    } else { 
      console.log(false, 'token is expired')

How to resolve TypeError: can only concatenate str (not "int") to str

Change secret_string += str(chr(char + 7429146))

To secret_string += chr(ord(char) + 7429146)

ord() converts the character to its Unicode integer equivalent. chr() then converts this integer into its Unicode character equivalent.

Also, 7429146 is too big of a number, it should be less than 1114111

Failed to configure a DataSource: 'url' attribute is not specified and no embedded datasource could be configured

This link helped.

Spring Boot auto-configuration tries to configure beans automatically based on the dependencies added to the classpath. And because we have a JPA dependency (spring-data-starter-jpa) on our classpath, it tries to configure it.

The problem: Spring boot doesn't have the all the info needed to configure the JPA data source i.e. the JDBC connection properties. Solutions:

  1. provide the JDBC connection properties (best)
  2. postpone supplying connection properties by excluding some AutoConfig classes (temporary - should be removed eventually)

The above link excludes the DataSourceAutoConfiguration.class with

@SpringBootApplication(exclude={DataSourceAutoConfiguration.class})

But this didn't work for me. I instead, had to exclude 2 AutoConfig classes:

@SpringBootApplication(exclude = {DataSourceAutoConfiguration.class, XADataSourceAutoConfiguration.class})

Sort Array of object by object field in Angular 6

You can simply use Arrays.sort()

array.sort((a,b) => a.title.rendered.localeCompare(b.title.rendered));

Working Example :

var array = [{"id":3645,"date":"2018-07-05T13:13:37","date_gmt":"2018-07-05T13:13:37","guid":{"rendered":""},"modified":"2018-07-05T13:13:37","modified_gmt":"2018-07-05T13:13:37","slug":"vpwin","status":"publish","type":"matrix","link":"","title":{"rendered":"VPWIN"},"content":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"template":"","better_featured_image":null,"acf":{"domain":"SMB","ds_rating":"3","dt_rating":""},},{"id":3645,"date":"2018-07-05T13:13:37","date_gmt":"2018-07-05T13:13:37","guid":{"rendered":""},"modified":"2018-07-05T13:13:37","modified_gmt":"2018-07-05T13:13:37","slug":"vpwin","status":"publish","type":"matrix","link":"","title":{"rendered":"adfPWIN"},"content":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"template":"","better_featured_image":null,"acf":{"domain":"SMB","ds_rating":"3","dt_rating":""}},{"id":3645,"date":"2018-07-05T13:13:37","date_gmt":"2018-07-05T13:13:37","guid":{"rendered":""},"modified":"2018-07-05T13:13:37","modified_gmt":"2018-07-05T13:13:37","slug":"vpwin","status":"publish","type":"matrix","link":"","title":{"rendered":"bbfPWIN"},"content":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"template":"","better_featured_image":null,"acf":{"domain":"SMB","ds_rating":"3","dt_rating":""}}];_x000D_

How can I install a previous version of Python 3 in macOS using homebrew?

In case anyone face pip issue like below

pip is configured with locations that require TLS/SSL, however the ssl module in Python is not available.

The root cause is openssl 1.1 doesn’t support python 3.6 anymore. So you need to install old version openssl 1.0

here is the solution:

brew uninstall --ignore-dependencies openssl
brew install https://github.com/tebelorg/Tump/releases/download/v1.0.0/openssl.rb

Handling back button in Android Navigation Component

And if you want the same behavior also for the toolbar back button just add this in your activity:

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
    if (item.getItemId() == android.R.id.home) {
        getOnBackPressedDispatcher().onBackPressed();
        return true;
    }
    return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}

TypeError: only integer scalar arrays can be converted to a scalar index with 1D numpy indices array

Another case that could cause this error is

>>> np.ndindex(np.random.rand(60,60))
TypeError: only integer scalar arrays can be converted to a scalar index

Using the actual shape will fix it.

>>> np.ndindex(np.random.rand(60,60).shape)
<numpy.ndindex object at 0x000001B887A98880>

Vue.js get selected option on @change

You can also use v-model for the rescue

<template>
    <select name="LeaveType" v-model="leaveType" @change="onChange()" class="form-control">
         <option value="1">Annual Leave/ Off-Day</option>
         <option value="2">On Demand Leave</option>
    </select>
</template>

<script>
export default {
    data() {
        return {
            leaveType: '',
        }
    },

    methods: {
        onChange() {
            console.log('The new value is: ', this.leaveType)
        }
    }
}
</script>

How to add image in Flutter

their is no need to create asset directory and under it images directory and then you put image. Better is to just create Images directory inside your project where pubspec.yaml exist and put images inside it and access that images just like as shown in tutorial/documention

assets: - images/lake.jpg // inside pubspec.yaml

How to uninstall Eclipse?

Look for an installation subdirectory, likely named eclipse. Under that subdirectory, if you see files like eclipse.ini, icon.xpm and subdirectories like plugins and dropins, remove the subdirectory parent (the one named eclipse).

That will remove your installation except for anything you've set up yourself (like workspaces, projects, etc.).

Hope this helps.

How to center a component in Material-UI and make it responsive?

Since you are going to use this in a login page. Here is a code I used in a Login page using Material-UI

<Grid
  container
  spacing={0}
  direction="column"
  alignItems="center"
  justify="center"
  style={{ minHeight: '100vh' }}
>

  <Grid item xs={3}>
    <LoginForm />
  </Grid>   

</Grid> 

this will make this login form at the center of the screen.

But still IE doesn't support the Material-UI Grid and you will see some misplaced content in IE.

Hope this will help you.

Set default option in mat-select

It took me several hours to figure out this until the similarity of the datatypes between the array and that of the default value worked for me...

Trying to merge 2 dataframes but get ValueError

At first check the type of columns which you want to merge. You will see one of them is string where other one is int. Then convert it to int as following code:

df["something"] = df["something"].astype(int)

merged = df.merge[df1, on="something"]

How do I center text vertically and horizontally in Flutter?

Flutter Circle Design

I would use a https://docs.flutter.io/flutter/widgets/Stack-class.html to be able to freely position widgets.

How to do a timer in Angular 5

This may be overkill for what you're looking for, but there is an npm package called marky that you can use to do this. It gives you a couple of extra features beyond just starting and stopping a timer. You just need to install it via npm and then import the dependency anywhere you'd like to use it. Here is a link to the npm package: https://www.npmjs.com/package/marky

An example of use after installing via npm would be as follows:

import * as _M from 'marky';

@Component({
 selector: 'app-test',
 templateUrl: './test.component.html',
 styleUrls: ['./test.component.scss']
})

export class TestComponent implements OnInit {
 Marky = _M;
}

constructor() {}

ngOnInit() {}

startTimer(key: string) {
 this.Marky.mark(key);
}

stopTimer(key: string) {
 this.Marky.stop(key);
}

key is simply a string which you are establishing to identify that particular measurement of time. You can have multiple measures which you can go back and reference your timer stats using the keys you create.

Iterating through a list to render multiple widgets in Flutter?

Basically when you hit 'return' on a function the function will stop and will not continue your iteration, so what you need to do is put it all on a list and then add it as a children of a widget

you can do something like this:

  Widget getTextWidgets(List<String> strings)
  {
    List<Widget> list = new List<Widget>();
    for(var i = 0; i < strings.length; i++){
        list.add(new Text(strings[i]));
    }
    return new Row(children: list);
  }

or even better, you can use .map() operator and do something like this:

  Widget getTextWidgets(List<String> strings)
  {
    return new Row(children: strings.map((item) => new Text(item)).toList());
  }

Angular 5 Button Submit On Enter Key Press

Another alternative can be to execute the Keydown or KeyUp in the tag of the Form

<form name="nameForm" [formGroup]="groupForm" (keydown.enter)="executeFunction()" >

How do I use hexadecimal color strings in Flutter?

A simple function without using a class:

Color _colorFromHex(String hexColor) {
  final hexCode = hexColor.replaceAll('#', '');
  return Color(int.parse('FF$hexCode', radix: 16));
}

You can use it like this:

Color color1 = _colorFromHex("b74093");
Color color2 = _colorFromHex("#b74093");

Button Width Match Parent

The correct solution would be to use the SizedBox.expand widget, which enforces its child to match its parent's size.

SizedBox.expand(
  child: RaisedButton(...),
)

There are many alternatives, which allows for more or less customization:

SizedBox(
  width: double.infinity,
  // height: double.infinity,
  child: RaisedButton(...),
)

or using a ConstrainedBox

ConstrainedBox(
    constraints: const BoxConstraints(minWidth: double.infinity),
    child: RaisedButton(...),
)

Dart: mapping a list (list.map)

Yes, You can do it this way too

 List<String> listTab = new List();
 map.forEach((key, val) {
  listTab.add(val);
 });

 //your widget//
 bottom: new TabBar(
  controller: _controller,
  isScrollable: true,
  tabs: listTab
  ,
),

You must add a reference to assembly 'netstandard, Version=2.0.0.0

The solution of Quango in is working but I prefer to resolve it by adding this code in my Web.config like new projects :

<system.codedom>
    <compilers>
      <compiler language="c#;cs;csharp" extension=".cs"
        type="Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform.CSharpCodeProvider, Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform, Version=3.6.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"
        warningLevel="4" compilerOptions="/langversion:default /nowarn:1659;1699;1701"/>
      <compiler language="vb;vbs;visualbasic;vbscript" extension=".vb"
        type="Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform.VBCodeProvider, Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform, Version=3.6.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"
        warningLevel="4" compilerOptions="/langversion:default /nowarn:41008 /define:_MYTYPE=\&quot;Web\&quot; /optionInfer+"/>
    </compilers>
  </system.codedom>

How to import a new font into a project - Angular 5

the answer is already exist above, but I would like to add some thing.. you can specify the following in your @font-face

@font-face {
  font-family: 'Name You Font';
  src: url('assets/font/xxyourfontxxx.eot');
  src: local('Cera Pro Medium'), local('CeraPro-Medium'),
  url('assets/font/xxyourfontxxx.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
  url('assets/font/xxyourfontxxx.woff') format('woff'),
  url('assets/font/xxyourfontxxx.ttf') format('truetype');
  font-weight: 500;
  font-style: normal;
}

So you can just indicate your fontfamily name that you already choosed

NOTE: the font-weight and font-style depend on your .woff .ttf ... files

Pytorch tensor to numpy array

I believe you also have to use .detach(). I had to convert my Tensor to a numpy array on Colab which uses CUDA and GPU. I did it like the following:

# this is just my embedding matrix which is a Torch tensor object
embedding = learn.model.u_weight

embedding_list = list(range(0, 64382))

input = torch.cuda.LongTensor(embedding_list)
tensor_array = embedding(input)
# the output of the line below is a numpy array
tensor_array.cpu().detach().numpy()

How do I convert 2018-04-10T04:00:00.000Z string to DateTime?

Update: Using DateTimeFormat, introduced in java 8:

The idea is to define two formats: one for the input format, and one for the output format. Parse with the input formatter, then format with the output formatter.

Your input format looks quite standard, except the trailing Z. Anyway, let's deal with this: "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS'Z'". The trailing 'Z' is the interesting part. Usually there's time zone data here, like -0700. So the pattern would be ...Z, i.e. without apostrophes.

The output format is way more simple: "dd-MM-yyyy". Mind the small y -s.

Here is the example code:

DateTimeFormatter inputFormatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS'Z'", Locale.ENGLISH);
DateTimeFormatter outputFormatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("dd-MM-yyy", Locale.ENGLISH);
LocalDate date = LocalDate.parse("2018-04-10T04:00:00.000Z", inputFormatter);
String formattedDate = outputFormatter.format(date);
System.out.println(formattedDate); // prints 10-04-2018

Original answer - with old API SimpleDateFormat

SimpleDateFormat inputFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS'Z'");
SimpleDateFormat outputFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy");
Date date = inputFormat.parse("2018-04-10T04:00:00.000Z");
String formattedDate = outputFormat.format(date);
System.out.println(formattedDate); // prints 10-04-2018

What is {this.props.children} and when you should use it?

What even is ‘children’?

The React docs say that you can use props.children on components that represent ‘generic boxes’ and that don’t know their children ahead of time. For me, that didn’t really clear things up. I’m sure for some, that definition makes perfect sense but it didn’t for me.

My simple explanation of what this.props.children does is that it is used to display whatever you include between the opening and closing tags when invoking a component.

A simple example:

Here’s an example of a stateless function that is used to create a component. Again, since this is a function, there is no this keyword so just use props.children

const Picture = (props) => {
  return (
    <div>
      <img src={props.src}/>
      {props.children}
    </div>
  )
}

This component contains an <img> that is receiving some props and then it is displaying {props.children}.

Whenever this component is invoked {props.children} will also be displayed and this is just a reference to what is between the opening and closing tags of the component.

//App.js
render () {
  return (
    <div className='container'>
      <Picture key={picture.id} src={picture.src}>
          //what is placed here is passed as props.children  
      </Picture>
    </div>
  )
}

Instead of invoking the component with a self-closing tag <Picture /> if you invoke it will full opening and closing tags <Picture> </Picture> you can then place more code between it.

This de-couples the <Picture> component from its content and makes it more reusable.

Reference: A quick intro to React’s props.children

Convert string to boolean in C#

You must use some of the C # conversion systems:

string to boolean: True to true

string str = "True";
bool mybool = System.Convert.ToBoolean(str);

boolean to string: true to True

bool mybool = true;
string str = System.Convert.ToString(mybool);

//or

string str = mybool.ToString();

bool.Parse expects one parameter which in this case is str, even .

Convert.ToBoolean expects one parameter.

bool.TryParse expects two parameters, one entry (str) and one out (result).

If TryParse is true, then the conversion was correct, otherwise an error occurred

string str = "True";
bool MyBool = bool.Parse(str);

//Or

string str = "True";
if(bool.TryParse(str, out bool result))
{
   //Correct conversion
}
else
{
     //Incorrect, an error has occurred
}

Flutter: Run method on Widget build complete

If you are looking for ReactNative's componentDidMount equivalent, Flutter has it. It's not that simple but it's working just the same way. In Flutter, Widgets do not handle their events directly. Instead they use their State object to do that.

class MyWidget extends StatefulWidget{

  @override
  State<StatefulWidget> createState() => MyState(this);

  Widget build(BuildContext context){...} //build layout here

  void onLoad(BuildContext context){...} //callback when layout build done
}

class MyState extends State<MyWidget>{

  MyWidget widget;

  MyState(this.widget);

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) => widget.build(context);

  @override
  void initState() => widget.onLoad(context);
}

State.initState immediately will be called once upon screen has finishes rendering the layout. And will never again be called even on hot reload if you're in debug mode, until explicitly reaches time to do so.

Round button with text and icon in flutter

You can simply use named constructors for creating different types of buttons with icons. For instance

FlatButton.icon(onPressed: null, icon: null, label: null);
RaisedButton.icon(onPressed: null, icon: null, label: null);

But if you have specfic requirements then you can always create custom button with different layouts or simply wrap a widget in GestureDetector.

docker: Error response from daemon: Get https://registry-1.docker.io/v2/: Service Unavailable. IN DOCKER , MAC

For me I had this issue when I first installed Docker and ran

docker run hello-world

I got an authentication required error when I ran

curl https://registry-1.docker.io/v2/ && echo Works

All I needed to do was to restart my MacOS and then run the command again, it just started pulling the image and i got the message

How can I change the app display name build with Flutter?

As of 2019-12-21, you need to change the name [NameOfYourApp] in file pubspec.yaml. Then go to menu Edit ? Find ? Replace in Path, and replace all occurrences of your previous name.

Also, just for good measure, change the folder names in your android directory, e.g. android/app/src/main/java/com/example/yourappname.

Then in the console, in your app's root directory, run

flutter clean

Pyspark: Filter dataframe based on multiple conditions

Your logic condition is wrong. IIUC, what you want is:

import pyspark.sql.functions as f

df.filter((f.col('d')<5))\
    .filter(
        ((f.col('col1') != f.col('col3')) | 
         (f.col('col2') != f.col('col4')) & (f.col('col1') == f.col('col3')))
    )\
    .show()

I broke the filter() step into 2 calls for readability, but you could equivalently do it in one line.

Output:

+----+----+----+----+---+
|col1|col2|col3|col4|  d|
+----+----+----+----+---+
|   A|  xx|   D|  vv|  4|
|   A|   x|   A|  xx|  3|
|   E| xxx|   B|  vv|  3|
|   F|xxxx|   F| vvv|  4|
|   G| xxx|   G|  xx|  4|

How to implement drop down list in flutter?

For anyone interested to implement a DropDown of custom class you can follow the bellow steps.

  1. Suppose you have a class called Language with the following code and a static method which returns a List<Language>

    class Language {
      final int id;
      final String name;
      final String languageCode;
    
      const Language(this.id, this.name, this.languageCode);
    
    
    }
    
     const List<Language> getLanguages = <Language>[
            Language(1, 'English', 'en'),
            Language(2, '?????', 'fa'),
            Language(3, '????', 'ps'),
         ];
    
  2. Anywhere you want to implement a DropDown you can import the Language class first use it as follow

        DropdownButton(
            underline: SizedBox(),
            icon: Icon(
                        Icons.language,
                        color: Colors.white,
                        ),
            items: getLanguages.map((Language lang) {
            return new DropdownMenuItem<String>(
                            value: lang.languageCode,
                            child: new Text(lang.name),
                          );
                        }).toList(),
    
            onChanged: (val) {
                          print(val);
                       },
          )
    

How to show all of columns name on pandas dataframe?

you can try this

pd.pandas.set_option('display.max_columns', None)

Pandas/Python: Set value of one column based on value in another column

one way to do this would be to use indexing with .loc.

Example

In the absence of an example dataframe, I'll make one up here:

import numpy as np
import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame({'c1': list('abcdefg')})
df.loc[5, 'c1'] = 'Value'

>>> df
      c1
0      a
1      b
2      c
3      d
4      e
5  Value
6      g

Assuming you wanted to create a new column c2, equivalent to c1 except where c1 is Value, in which case, you would like to assign it to 10:

First, you could create a new column c2, and set it to equivalent as c1, using one of the following two lines (they essentially do the same thing):

df = df.assign(c2 = df['c1'])
# OR:
df['c2'] = df['c1']

Then, find all the indices where c1 is equal to 'Value' using .loc, and assign your desired value in c2 at those indices:

df.loc[df['c1'] == 'Value', 'c2'] = 10

And you end up with this:

>>> df
      c1  c2
0      a   a
1      b   b
2      c   c
3      d   d
4      e   e
5  Value  10
6      g   g

If, as you suggested in your question, you would perhaps sometimes just want to replace the values in the column you already have, rather than create a new column, then just skip the column creation, and do the following:

df['c1'].loc[df['c1'] == 'Value'] = 10
# or:
df.loc[df['c1'] == 'Value', 'c1'] = 10

Giving you:

>>> df
      c1
0      a
1      b
2      c
3      d
4      e
5     10
6      g

How to fix docker: Got permission denied issue

It is definitely not the case the question was about, but as it is the first search result while googling the error message, I'll leave it here.

First of all, check if docker service is running using the following command:

systemctl status docker.service

If it is not running, try starting it:

sudo systemctl start docker.service

... and check the status again:

systemctl status docker.service

If it has not started, investigate the reason. Probably, you have modified a config file and made an error (like I did while modifying /etc/docker/daemon.json)

js 'types' can only be used in a .ts file - Visual Studio Code using @ts-check

Just default the variable to the expected type:

How do I deal with installing peer dependencies in Angular CLI?

NPM package libraries have a section in the package.json file named peerDependencies. For example; a library built in Angular 8, will usually list Angular 8 as a dependency. This is a true dependency for anyone running less than version 8. But for anyone running version 8, 9 or 10, it's questionable whether any concern should be pursued.

I have been safely ignoring these messages on Angular Updates, but then again we do have Unit and Cypress Tests!

bootstrap 4 file input doesn't show the file name

$(document).on('change', '.custom-file-input', function (event) {
    $(this).next('.custom-file-label').html(event.target.files[0].name);
})

Best of all worlds. Works on dynamically created inputs, and uses actual file name.

How to use Bootstrap 4 in ASP.NET Core

Unfortunately, you're going to have a hard time using NuGet to install Bootstrap (or most other JavaScript/CSS frameworks) on a .NET Core project. If you look at the NuGet install it tells you it is incompatible:

enter image description here

if you must know where local packages dependencies are, they are now in your local profile directory. i.e. %userprofile%\.nuget\packages\bootstrap\4.0.0\content\Scripts.

However, I suggest switching to npm, or bower - like in Saineshwar's answer.

Bootstrap 4: responsive sidebar menu to top navbar

If this isn't a good solution for any reason, please let me know. It worked fine for me.

What I did is to hide the Sidebar and then make appear the navbar with breakpoints

@media screen and (max-width: 771px) {
    #fixed-sidebar {
        display: none;
    }
    #navbar-superior {
        display: block !important;
    }
}

Assets file project.assets.json not found. Run a NuGet package restore

For me it turned out to be a nuget source credentials problem. I had recently changed my password for accessing a nexus server and visual studio was still using the old password when trying to access a nuget on that server through the windows credential manager. To fix it, I had to delete the entry for those outdated credentials in the credential manager and after, when I did a nuget restore, it prompted me for a password letting me enter the new password, which got saved in the credential manager again. You can access the credential manager from the cmd line using CmdKey.exe.

where is create-react-app webpack config and files?

Exclude property from type

With typescript 2.8, you can use the new built-in Exclude type. The 2.8 release notes actually mention this in the section "Predefined conditional types":

Note: The Exclude type is a proper implementation of the Diff type suggested here. [...] We did not include the Omit type because it is trivially written as Pick<T, Exclude<keyof T, K>>.

Applying this to your example, type XY could be defined as:

type XY = Pick<XYZ, Exclude<keyof XYZ, "z">>

How to check if pytorch is using the GPU?

After you start running the training loop, if you want to manually watch it from the terminal whether your program is utilizing the GPU resources and to what extent, then you can simply use watch as in:

$ watch -n 2 nvidia-smi

This will continuously update the usage stats for every 2 seconds until you press ctrl+c


If you need more control on more GPU stats you might need, you can use more sophisticated version of nvidia-smi with --query-gpu=.... Below is a simple illustration of this:

$ watch -n 3 nvidia-smi --query-gpu=index,gpu_name,memory.total,memory.used,memory.free,temperature.gpu,pstate,utilization.gpu,utilization.memory --format=csv

which would output the stats something like:

enter image description here

Note: There should not be any space between the comma separated query names in --query-gpu=.... Else those values will be ignored and no stats are returned.


Also, you can check whether your installation of PyTorch detects your CUDA installation correctly by doing:

In [13]: import  torch

In [14]: torch.cuda.is_available()
Out[14]: True

True status means that PyTorch is configured correctly and is using the GPU although you have to move/place the tensors with necessary statements in your code.


If you want to do this inside Python code, then look into this module:

https://github.com/jonsafari/nvidia-ml-py or in pypi here: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/nvidia-ml-py/

Numpy Resize/Rescale Image

While it might be possible to use numpy alone to do this, the operation is not built-in. That said, you can use scikit-image (which is built on numpy) to do this kind of image manipulation.

Scikit-Image rescaling documentation is here.

For example, you could do the following with your image:

from skimage.transform import resize
bottle_resized = resize(bottle, (140, 54))

This will take care of things like interpolation, anti-aliasing, etc. for you.

How can I go back/route-back on vue-router?

  @click="hasHistory() 
    ? $router.go(-1) 
    : $router.push('/')" class="my-5 btn btn-outline-success">&laquo; 
  Back

pip3: command not found

I had this issue and I fixed it using the following steps You need to completely uninstall python3-p using:

sudo apt-get --purge autoremove python3-pip

Then resintall the package with:

 sudo apt install python3-pip

To confirm that everything works, run:

 pip3 -V

After this you can now use pip3 to manage any python package of your interest. Eg

pip3 install NumPy

I was running into this issue and it turned out that I needed to do this:

docker run ${image_name} bash -c "${command}"

Hope that helps someone who finds this error.

Angular File Upload

Ok, as this thread appears among the first results of google and for other users having the same question, you don't have to reivent the wheel as pointed by trueboroda there is the ng2-file-upload library which simplify this process of uploading a file with angular 6 and 7 all you need to do is:

Install the latest Angular CLI

yarn add global @angular/cli

Then install rx-compat for compatibility concern

npm install rxjs-compat --save

Install ng2-file-upload

npm install ng2-file-upload --save

Import FileSelectDirective Directive in your module.

import { FileSelectDirective } from 'ng2-file-upload';

Add it to [declarations] under @NgModule:
declarations: [ ... FileSelectDirective , ... ]

In your component

import { FileUploader } from 'ng2-file-upload/ng2-file-upload';
...

export class AppComponent implements OnInit {

   public uploader: FileUploader = new FileUploader({url: URL, itemAlias: 'photo'});
}

Template

<input type="file" name="photo" ng2FileSelect [uploader]="uploader" />

How to shift a block of code left/right by one space in VSCode?

Current Version 1.38.1

I had a problem with intending. The default Command+] is set to 4 and I wanted it to be 2. Installed "Indent 4-to-2" but it changed the entire file and not the selected text.

I changed the tab spacing in settings and it was simple.

Go to Settings -> Text Editor -> Tab Size

How to show code but hide output in RMarkdown?

For what it's worth.

```{r eval=FALSE}

The document will display the code by default but will prevent the code block from being executed, and thus will also not display any results.

forEach() in React JSX does not output any HTML

You need to pass an array of element to jsx. The problem is that forEach does not return anything (i.e it returns undefined). So it's better to use map because map returns an array:

class QuestionSet extends Component {
render(){ 
    <div className="container">
       <h1>{this.props.question.text}</h1>
       {this.props.question.answers.map((answer, i) => {     
           console.log("Entered");                 
           // Return the element. Also pass key     
           return (<Answer key={answer} answer={answer} />) 
        })}
}

export default QuestionSet;

When I run `npm install`, it returns with `ERR! code EINTEGRITY` (npm 5.3.0)

None of the above answers worked for me. The solution to my issue was to change the way the snapshot dependency was consumed inside the package.json. Use the following template to pull in the snapshot dependency that you need

"dependency": "git+http://github.com/[pathtoproject].git#[branchname]",

How to extract table as text from the PDF using Python?

This answer is for anyone encountering pdfs with images and needing to use OCR. I could not find a workable off-the-shelf solution; nothing that gave me the accuracy I needed.

Here are the steps I found to work.

  1. Use pdfimages from https://poppler.freedesktop.org/ to turn the pages of the pdf into images.

  2. Use Tesseract to detect rotation and ImageMagick mogrify to fix it.

  3. Use OpenCV to find and extract tables.

  4. Use OpenCV to find and extract each cell from the table.

  5. Use OpenCV to crop and clean up each cell so that there is no noise that will confuse OCR software.

  6. Use Tesseract to OCR each cell.

  7. Combine the extracted text of each cell into the format you need.

I wrote a python package with modules that can help with those steps.

Repo: https://github.com/eihli/image-table-ocr

Docs & Source: https://eihli.github.io/image-table-ocr/pdf_table_extraction_and_ocr.html

Some of the steps don't require code, they take advantage of external tools like pdfimages and tesseract. I'll provide some brief examples for a couple of the steps that do require code.

  1. Finding tables:

This link was a good reference while figuring out how to find tables. https://answers.opencv.org/question/63847/how-to-extract-tables-from-an-image/

import cv2

def find_tables(image):
    BLUR_KERNEL_SIZE = (17, 17)
    STD_DEV_X_DIRECTION = 0
    STD_DEV_Y_DIRECTION = 0
    blurred = cv2.GaussianBlur(image, BLUR_KERNEL_SIZE, STD_DEV_X_DIRECTION, STD_DEV_Y_DIRECTION)
    MAX_COLOR_VAL = 255
    BLOCK_SIZE = 15
    SUBTRACT_FROM_MEAN = -2

    img_bin = cv2.adaptiveThreshold(
        ~blurred,
        MAX_COLOR_VAL,
        cv2.ADAPTIVE_THRESH_MEAN_C,
        cv2.THRESH_BINARY,
        BLOCK_SIZE,
        SUBTRACT_FROM_MEAN,
    )
    vertical = horizontal = img_bin.copy()
    SCALE = 5
    image_width, image_height = horizontal.shape
    horizontal_kernel = cv2.getStructuringElement(cv2.MORPH_RECT, (int(image_width / SCALE), 1))
    horizontally_opened = cv2.morphologyEx(img_bin, cv2.MORPH_OPEN, horizontal_kernel)
    vertical_kernel = cv2.getStructuringElement(cv2.MORPH_RECT, (1, int(image_height / SCALE)))
    vertically_opened = cv2.morphologyEx(img_bin, cv2.MORPH_OPEN, vertical_kernel)

    horizontally_dilated = cv2.dilate(horizontally_opened, cv2.getStructuringElement(cv2.MORPH_RECT, (40, 1)))
    vertically_dilated = cv2.dilate(vertically_opened, cv2.getStructuringElement(cv2.MORPH_RECT, (1, 60)))

    mask = horizontally_dilated + vertically_dilated
    contours, hierarchy = cv2.findContours(
        mask, cv2.RETR_EXTERNAL, cv2.CHAIN_APPROX_SIMPLE,
    )

    MIN_TABLE_AREA = 1e5
    contours = [c for c in contours if cv2.contourArea(c) > MIN_TABLE_AREA]
    perimeter_lengths = [cv2.arcLength(c, True) for c in contours]
    epsilons = [0.1 * p for p in perimeter_lengths]
    approx_polys = [cv2.approxPolyDP(c, e, True) for c, e in zip(contours, epsilons)]
    bounding_rects = [cv2.boundingRect(a) for a in approx_polys]

    # The link where a lot of this code was borrowed from recommends an
    # additional step to check the number of "joints" inside this bounding rectangle.
    # A table should have a lot of intersections. We might have a rectangular image
    # here though which would only have 4 intersections, 1 at each corner.
    # Leaving that step as a future TODO if it is ever necessary.
    images = [image[y:y+h, x:x+w] for x, y, w, h in bounding_rects]
    return images
  1. Extract cells from table.

This is very similar to 2, so I won't include all the code. The part I will reference will be in sorting the cells.

We want to identify the cells from left-to-right, top-to-bottom.

We’ll find the rectangle with the most top-left corner. Then we’ll find all of the rectangles that have a center that is within the top-y and bottom-y values of that top-left rectangle. Then we’ll sort those rectangles by the x value of their center. We’ll remove those rectangles from the list and repeat.

def cell_in_same_row(c1, c2):
    c1_center = c1[1] + c1[3] - c1[3] / 2
    c2_bottom = c2[1] + c2[3]
    c2_top = c2[1]
    return c2_top < c1_center < c2_bottom

orig_cells = [c for c in cells]
rows = []
while cells:
    first = cells[0]
    rest = cells[1:]
    cells_in_same_row = sorted(
        [
            c for c in rest
            if cell_in_same_row(c, first)
        ],
        key=lambda c: c[0]
    )

    row_cells = sorted([first] + cells_in_same_row, key=lambda c: c[0])
    rows.append(row_cells)
    cells = [
        c for c in rest
        if not cell_in_same_row(c, first)
    ]

# Sort rows by average height of their center.
def avg_height_of_center(row):
    centers = [y + h - h / 2 for x, y, w, h in row]
    return sum(centers) / len(centers)

rows.sort(key=avg_height_of_center)

Where to declare variable in react js

Using ES6 syntax in React does not bind this to user-defined functions however it will bind this to the component lifecycle methods.

So the function that you declared will not have the same context as the class and trying to access this will not give you what you are expecting.

For getting the context of class you have to bind the context of class to the function or use arrow functions.

Method 1 to bind the context:

class MyContainer extends Component {

    constructor(props) {
        super(props);
        this.onMove = this.onMove.bind(this);
        this.testVarible= "this is a test";
    }

    onMove() {
        console.log(this.testVarible);
    }
}

Method 2 to bind the context:

class MyContainer extends Component {

    constructor(props) {
        super(props);
        this.testVarible= "this is a test";
    }

    onMove = () => {
        console.log(this.testVarible);
    }
}

Method 2 is my preferred way but you are free to choose your own.

Update: You can also create the properties on class without constructor:

class MyContainer extends Component {

    testVarible= "this is a test";

    onMove = () => {
        console.log(this.testVarible);
    }
}

Note If you want to update the view as well, you should use state and setState method when you set or change the value.

Example:

class MyContainer extends Component {

    state = { testVarible: "this is a test" };

    onMove = () => {
        console.log(this.state.testVarible);
        this.setState({ testVarible: "new value" });
    }
}

kubectl apply vs kubectl create?

We love Kubernetes is because once we give them what we want it goes on to figure out how to achieve it without our any involvement.

"create" is like playing GOD by taking things into our own hands. It is good for local debugging when you only want to work with the POD and not care abt Deployment/Replication Controller.

"apply" is playing by the rules. "apply" is like a master tool that helps you create and modify and requires nothing from you to manage the pods.

No authenticationScheme was specified, and there was no DefaultChallengeScheme found with default authentification and custom authorization

this worked for me

// using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.Cookies;
// using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http;

services.AddAuthentication(CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme)
    .AddCookie(CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme,
        options =>
        {
            options.LoginPath = new PathString("/auth/login");
            options.AccessDeniedPath = new PathString("/auth/denied");
        });

How do I POST XML data to a webservice with Postman?

Send XML requests with the raw data type, then set the Content-Type to text/xml.


  1. After creating a request, use the dropdown to change the request type to POST.

    Set request type to POST

  2. Open the Body tab and check the data type for raw.

    Setting data type to raw

  3. Open the Content-Type selection box that appears to the right and select either XML (application/xml) or XML (text/xml)

    Selecting content-type text/xml

  4. Enter your raw XML data into the input field below

Distribution certificate / private key not installed

People's answer here about having the key from the computer is generated are accurate. But if things are still failing, try restarting Xcode after installing a cert

INSTALL_FAILED_USER_RESTRICTED : android studio using redmi 4 device

NO NO NO !!!!!

it's simple, in MIUI 9.x you need developer settings ON and then

  • Settings -> (system & device section) Additional Settings -> Developer options

(Debugging section)

  • Turn On "USB Debugging"
  • Turn On "Install via USB"

Then in Android select Runb app and choose your Xiaome phone

EDIT: you will also need allow installation from unknown sources

Angular 5 Service to read local .json file

Using Typescript 3.6.3, and Angular 6, none of these solutions worked for me.

What did work was to follow the tutorial here which says you need to add a small file called njson-typings.d.ts to your project, containing this:

declare module "*.json" {
  const value: any;
  export default value;
}

Once this was done, I could simply import my hardcoded json data:

import employeeData from '../../assets/employees.json';

and use it in my component:

export class FetchDataComponent implements OnInit {
  public employees: Employee[];

  constructor() {
    //  Load the data from a hardcoded .json file
    this.employees = employeeData;
    . . . .
  }

How to reload current page in ReactJS?

Since React eventually boils down to plain old JavaScript, you can really place it anywhere! For instance, you could place it on a componentDidMount() in a React class.

For you edit, you may want to try something like this:

class Component extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.onAddBucket = this.onAddBucket.bind(this);
  }
  componentWillMount() {
    this.setState({
      buckets: {},
    })
  }
  componentDidMount() {
    this.onAddBucket();
  }
  onAddBucket() {
    let self = this;
    let getToken = localStorage.getItem('myToken');
    var apiBaseUrl = "...";
    let input = {
      "name" :  this.state.fields["bucket_name"]
    }
    axios.defaults.headers.common['Authorization'] = getToken;
    axios.post(apiBaseUrl+'...',input)
    .then(function (response) {
      if (response.data.status == 200) {
        this.setState({
          buckets: this.state.buckets.concat(response.data.buckets),
        });
      } else {
        alert(response.data.message);
      }
    })
    .catch(function (error) {
      console.log(error);
    });
  }
  render() {
    return (
      {this.state.bucket}
    );
  }
}

How to create a stacked bar chart for my DataFrame using seaborn?

You could use pandas plot as @Bharath suggest:

import seaborn as sns
sns.set()
df.set_index('App').T.plot(kind='bar', stacked=True)

Output:

enter image description here

Updated:

from matplotlib.colors import ListedColormap df.set_index('App')\ .reindex_axis(df.set_index('App').sum().sort_values().index, axis=1)\ .T.plot(kind='bar', stacked=True, colormap=ListedColormap(sns.color_palette("GnBu", 10)), figsize=(12,6))

Updated Pandas 0.21.0+ reindex_axis is deprecated, use reindex

from matplotlib.colors import ListedColormap

df.set_index('App')\
  .reindex(df.set_index('App').sum().sort_values().index, axis=1)\
  .T.plot(kind='bar', stacked=True,
          colormap=ListedColormap(sns.color_palette("GnBu", 10)), 
          figsize=(12,6))

Output:

How to remove an unpushed outgoing commit in Visual Studio?

Open the history tab in Team Explorer from the Branches tile (right-click your branch). Then in the history right-click the commit before the one you don't want to push, choose Reset. That will move the branch back to that commit and should get rid of the extra commit you made. In order to reset before a given commit you thus have to select its parent.

Depending on what you want to do with the changes choose hard, which will get rid of them locally. Or choose soft which will undo the commit but will leave your working directory with the changes in your discarded commit.

find_spec_for_exe': can't find gem bundler (>= 0.a) (Gem::GemNotFoundException)

The real answer is here if you try to install bundler 2.0.1 or 2.0.0 due to Bundler requiring RubyGems v3.0.0

Yesterday I released Bundler 2.0 that introduced a number of breaking changes. One of the those changes was setting Bundler to require RubyGems v3.0.0. After making the release, it has become clear that lots of our users are running into issues with Bundler 2 requiring a really new version of RubyGems.

We have been listening closely to feedback from users and have decided to relax the RubyGems requirement to v2.5.0 at minimum. We have released a new Bundler version, v2.0.1, that adjusts this requirement.

For more info, see: https://bundler.io/blog/2019/01/04/an-update-on-the-bundler-2-release.html

Display all dataframe columns in a Jupyter Python Notebook

Try the display max_columns setting as follows:

import pandas as pd
from IPython.display import display

df = pd.read_csv("some_data.csv")
pd.options.display.max_columns = None
display(df)

Or

pd.set_option('display.max_columns', None)

Edit: Pandas 0.11.0 backwards

This is deprecated but in versions of Pandas older than 0.11.0 the max_columns setting is specified as follows:

pd.set_printoptions(max_columns=500)

How to downgrade Node version

In case of windows, one of the options you have is to uninstall current version of Node. Then, go to the node website and download the desired version and install this last one instead.

How to round a numpy array?

It is worth noting that the accepted answer will round small floats down to zero.

>>> import numpy as np 
>>> arr = np.asarray([2.92290007e+00, -1.57376965e-03, 4.82011728e-08, 1.92896977e-12])
>>> print(arr)
[ 2.92290007e+00 -1.57376965e-03  4.82011728e-08  1.92896977e-12]
>>> np.round(arr, 2)
array([ 2.92, -0.  ,  0.  ,  0.  ]) 

You can use set_printoptions and a custom formatter to fix this and get a more numpy-esque printout with fewer decimal places:

>>> np.set_printoptions(formatter={'float': "{0:0.2e}".format})
>>> print(arr)
[2.92e+00 -1.57e-03 4.82e-08 1.93e-12]  

This way, you get the full versatility of format and maintain the full precision of numpy's datatypes.

Also note that this only affects printing, not the actual precision of the stored values used for computation.

How to import JSON File into a TypeScript file?

Thanks for the input guys, I was able to find the fix, I added and defined the json on top of the app.component.ts file:

var json = require('./[yourFileNameHere].json');

This ultimately produced the markers and is a simple line of code.

How to change PHP version used by composer

Another possibility to make composer think you're using the correct version of PHP is to add to the config section of a composer.json file a platform option, like this:

"config": {
    "platform": {
        "php": "<ver>"
    }
},

Where <ver> is the PHP version of your choice.

Snippet from the docs:

Lets you fake platform packages (PHP and extensions) so that you can emulate a production env or define your target platform in the config. Example: {"php": "7.0.3", "ext-something": "4.0.3"}.

Fetch API request timeout?

Using a promise race solution will leave the request hanging and still consume bandwidth in the background and lower the max allowed concurrent request being made while it's still in process.

Instead use the AbortController to actually abort the request, Here is an example

const controller = new AbortController()

// 5 second timeout:
const timeoutId = setTimeout(() => controller.abort(), 5000)

fetch(url, { signal: controller.signal }).then(response => {
  // completed request before timeout fired

  // If you only wanted to timeout the request, not the response, add:
  // clearTimeout(timeoutId)
})

AbortController can be used for other things as well, not only fetch but for readable/writable streams as well. More newer functions (specially promise based ones) will use this more and more. NodeJS have also implemented AbortController into its streams/filesystem as well. I know web bluetooth are looking into it also. Now it can also be used with addEventListener option and have it stop listening when the signal ends

You can add fsevents to this object and if you find yourself installing packages in a different platform than MacOS, fsevents will be skipped by either yarn or npm.

"optionalDependencies": {
  "fsevents": "2.1.2"
},

You will find a message like the following in the installation log:

info [email protected]: The platform "linux" is incompatible with this module.
info "[email protected]" is an optional dependency and failed compatibility check. Excluding it from installation.
info [email protected]: The platform "linux" is incompatible with this module.
info "[email protected]" is an optional dependency and failed compatibility check. Excluding it from installation.

Hope it helps!

Can't create a docker image for COPY failed: stat /var/lib/docker/tmp/docker-builder error

Here is the reason why it happens, i.e. your local directory in the host OS where you are running the docker should have the file, otherwise you get this error

One solution is to : use RUN cp <src> <dst> instead of COPY <src> <dst>

then run the command it works!

numpy array TypeError: only integer scalar arrays can be converted to a scalar index

Short answer:

[a[:,:j] for j in i]

What you are trying to do is not a vectorizable operation. Wikipedia defines vectorization as a batch operation on a single array, instead of on individual scalars:

In computer science, array programming languages (also known as vector or multidimensional languages) generalize operations on scalars to apply transparently to vectors, matrices, and higher-dimensional arrays.

...

... an operation that operates on entire arrays can be called a vectorized operation...

In terms of CPU-level optimization, the definition of vectorization is:

"Vectorization" (simplified) is the process of rewriting a loop so that instead of processing a single element of an array N times, it processes (say) 4 elements of the array simultaneously N/4 times.

The problem with your case is that the result of each individual operation has a different shape: (3, 1), (3, 2) and (3, 3). They can not form the output of a single vectorized operation, because the output has to be one contiguous array. Of course, it can contain (3, 1), (3, 2) and (3, 3) arrays inside of it (as views), but that's what your original array a already does.

What you're really looking for is just a single expression that computes all of them:

[a[:,:j] for j in i]

... but it's not vectorized in a sense of performance optimization. Under the hood it's plain old for loop that computes each item one by one.

Select columns in PySpark dataframe

The dataset in ss.csv contains some columns I am interested in:

ss_ = spark.read.csv("ss.csv", header= True, 
                      inferSchema = True)
ss_.columns
['Reporting Area', 'MMWR Year', 'MMWR Week', 'Salmonellosis (excluding Paratyphoid fever andTyphoid fever)†, Current week', 'Salmonellosis (excluding Paratyphoid fever andTyphoid fever)†, Current week, flag', 'Salmonellosis (excluding Paratyphoid fever andTyphoid fever)†, Previous 52 weeks Med', 'Salmonellosis (excluding Paratyphoid fever andTyphoid fever)†, Previous 52 weeks Med, flag', 'Salmonellosis (excluding Paratyphoid fever andTyphoid fever)†, Previous 52 weeks Max', 'Salmonellosis (excluding Paratyphoid fever andTyphoid fever)†, Previous 52 weeks Max, flag', 'Salmonellosis (excluding Paratyphoid fever andTyphoid fever)†, Cum 2018', 'Salmonellosis (excluding Paratyphoid fever andTyphoid fever)†, Cum 2018, flag', 'Salmonellosis (excluding Paratyphoid fever andTyphoid fever)†, Cum 2017', 'Salmonellosis (excluding Paratyphoid fever andTyphoid fever)†, Cum 2017, flag', 'Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli, Current week', 'Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli, Current week, flag', 'Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli, Previous 52 weeks Med', 'Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli, Previous 52 weeks Med, flag', 'Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli, Previous 52 weeks Max', 'Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli, Previous 52 weeks Max, flag', 'Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli, Cum 2018', 'Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli, Cum 2018, flag', 'Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli, Cum 2017', 'Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli, Cum 2017, flag', 'Shigellosis, Current week', 'Shigellosis, Current week, flag', 'Shigellosis, Previous 52 weeks Med', 'Shigellosis, Previous 52 weeks Med, flag', 'Shigellosis, Previous 52 weeks Max', 'Shigellosis, Previous 52 weeks Max, flag', 'Shigellosis, Cum 2018', 'Shigellosis, Cum 2018, flag', 'Shigellosis, Cum 2017', 'Shigellosis, Cum 2017, flag']

but I only need a few:

columns_lambda = lambda k: k.endswith(', Current week') or k == 'Reporting Area' or k == 'MMWR Year' or  k == 'MMWR Week'

The filter returns the list of desired columns, list is evaluated:

sss = filter(columns_lambda, ss_.columns)
to_keep = list(sss)

the list of desired columns is unpacked as arguments to dataframe select function that return dataset containing only columns in the list:

dfss = ss_.select(*to_keep)
dfss.columns

The result:

['Reporting Area',
 'MMWR Year',
 'MMWR Week',
 'Salmonellosis (excluding Paratyphoid fever andTyphoid fever)†, Current week',
 'Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli, Current week',
 'Shigellosis, Current week']

The df.select() has a complementary pair: http://spark.apache.org/docs/2.4.1/api/python/pyspark.sql.html#pyspark.sql.DataFrame.drop

to drop the list of columns.

How to set the color of an icon in Angular Material?

color="white" is not a known attribute to Angular Material.

color attribute can changed to primary, accent, and warn. as said in this doc

your icon inside button works because its parent class button has css class of color:white, or may be your color="accent" is white. check the developer tools to find it.

By default, icons will use the current font color

.net Core 2.0 - Package was restored using .NetFramework 4.6.1 instead of target framework .netCore 2.0. The package may not be fully compatible

For me, I had ~6 different Nuget packages to update and when I selected Microsoft.AspNetCore.All first, I got the referenced error.

I started at the bottom and updated others first (EF Core, EF Design Tools, etc), then when the only one that was left was Microsoft.AspNetCore.All it worked fine.

How and where to use ::ng-deep?

Make sure not to miss the explanation of :host-context which is directly above ::ng-deep in the angular guide : https://angular.io/guide/component-styles. I missed it up until now and wish I'd seen it sooner.

::ng-deep is often necessary when you didn't write the component and don't have access to its source, but :host-context can be a very useful option when you do.

For example I have a black <h1> header inside a component I designed, and I want the ability to change it to white when it's displayed on a dark themed background.

If I didn't have access to the source I may have to do this in the css for the parent:

.theme-dark widget-box ::ng-deep h1 { color: white; }

But instead with :host-context you can do this inside the component.

 h1 
 {
     color: black;       // default color

     :host-context(.theme-dark) &
     {
         color: white;   // color for dark-theme
     }

     // OR set an attribute 'outside' with [attr.theme]="'dark'"

     :host-context([theme='dark']) &
     {
         color: white;   // color for dark-theme
     }
 }

This will look anywhere in the component chain for .theme-dark and apply the css to the h1 if found. This is a good alternative to relying too much on ::ng-deep which while often necessary is somewhat of an anti-pattern.

In this case the & is replaced by the h1 (that's how sass/scss works) so you can define your 'normal' and themed/alternative css right next to each other which is very handy.

Be careful to get the correct number of :. For ::ng-deep there are two and for :host-context only one.

Codesign wants to access key "access" in your keychain, I put in my login password but keeps asking me

I had the same problem: while building iOS release for Flutter project, was asked for keychain password, entered Apple ID password for developer account, no luck. Finally succeeded by entering password for computer I was using (which was an on-line mac server). Hope that helps.

React-Redux: Actions must be plain objects. Use custom middleware for async actions

Action Definition

const selectSlice = () => {
  return {
    type: 'SELECT_SLICE'
  }
};

Action Dispatch

store.dispatch({
  type:'SELECT_SLICE'
});

Make sure the object structure of action defined is same as action dispatched. In my case, while dispatching action, type was not assigned to property type.

Angular + Material - How to refresh a data source (mat-table)

refresh() {
  this.myService.doSomething().subscribe((data: MyDataType[]) => {
    this.dataSource.data = data;

How do I post form data with fetch api?

To quote MDN on FormData (emphasis mine):

The FormData interface provides a way to easily construct a set of key/value pairs representing form fields and their values, which can then be easily sent using the XMLHttpRequest.send() method. It uses the same format a form would use if the encoding type were set to "multipart/form-data".

So when using FormData you are locking yourself into multipart/form-data. There is no way to send a FormData object as the body and not sending data in the multipart/form-data format.

If you want to send the data as application/x-www-form-urlencoded you will either have to specify the body as an URL-encoded string, or pass a URLSearchParams object. The latter unfortunately cannot be directly initialized from a form element. If you don’t want to iterate through your form elements yourself (which you could do using HTMLFormElement.elements), you could also create a URLSearchParams object from a FormData object:

const data = new URLSearchParams();
for (const pair of new FormData(formElement)) {
    data.append(pair[0], pair[1]);
}

fetch(url, {
    method: 'post',
    body: data,
})
.then(…);

Note that you do not need to specify a Content-Type header yourself.


As noted by monk-time in the comments, you can also create URLSearchParams and pass the FormData object directly, instead of appending the values in a loop:

const data = new URLSearchParams(new FormData(formElement));

This still has some experimental support in browsers though, so make sure to test this properly before you use it.

how to remove json object key and value.?

function omit(obj, key) {
    const {[key]:ignore, ...rest} = obj;
    return rest;
}

You can use ES6 spread operators like this. And to remove your key simply call

const newJson = omit(myjsonobj, "otherIndustry");

Its always better if you maintain pure function when you deal with type=object in javascript.

React - clearing an input value after form submit

this.mainInput doesn't actually point to anything. Since you are using a controlled component (i.e. the value of the input is obtained from state) you can set this.state.city to null:

onHandleSubmit(e) {
  e.preventDefault();
  const city = this.state.city;
  this.props.onSearchTermChange(city);
  this.setState({ city: '' });
}

Can't create project on Netbeans 8.2

I had the same problem I installed NetBeans 8.2 on macOS High Sierra, and by default settings, NetBeans will work with the latest JDK release (currently JDK 9).

NetBeans Problem

What I did was forcing NetBeans to use JDK 8, you must config your netbeans.conf file, you can find it on:

/Applications/NetBeans/NetBeans 8.2.app/Contents/Resources/NetBeans/etc/netbeans.conf

enter image description here

You need to uncomment and update your path to JDK, you will find yours at:

/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_131.jdk/Contents/Home

enter image description here

Just save it, restart NetBeans and you are done!

Get Value From Select Option in Angular 4

This is very simple actually.

Please notice that I'm

I. adding name="selectedCorp" to your select opening tag, and

II. changing your [value]="corporationObj" to [value]="corporation", which is consistent with the corporation in your *ngFor="let corporation of corporations" statement:

 <form class="form-inline" (ngSubmit)="HelloCorp(f)" #f="ngForm">
   <div class="select">
     <select class="form-control col-lg-8" #corporation name="selectedCorp" required>
       <option *ngFor="let corporation of corporations" [value]="corporation">{{corporation.corp_name}}</option>
     </select>
     <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary manage">Submit</button>
   </div>
 </form>

And then in your .ts file, you just do the following:

HelloCorp(form: NgForm) {
   const corporationObj = form.value.selectedCorp;
}

and the const corporationObj now is the selected corporation object, which will include all the properties of the corporation class you have defined.

NOTE:

In the html code, by the statement [value]="corporation", the corporation (from *ngFor="let corporation of corporations") is bound to [value], and the name property will get the value.

Since the name is "selectedCorp", you can get the actual value by getting "form.value.selectedCorp" in your .ts file.

By the way, actually you don't need the "#corporation" in your "select" opening tag.

Android 8.0: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Not allowed to start service Intent

I see a lot of responses that recommend just using a ForegroundService. In order to use a ForegroundService there has to be a notification associated with it. Users will see this notification. Depending on the situation, they may become annoyed with your app and uninstall it.

The easiest solution is to use the new Architecture Component called WorkManager. You can check out the documentation here: https://developer.android.com/topic/libraries/architecture/workmanager/

You just define your worker class that extends Worker.

public class CompressWorker extends Worker {

    public CompressWorker(
        @NonNull Context context,
        @NonNull WorkerParameters params) {
        super(context, params);
    }

    @Override
    public Worker.Result doWork() {

        // Do the work here--in this case, compress the stored images.
        // In this example no parameters are passed; the task is
        // assumed to be "compress the whole library."
        myCompress();

        // Indicate success or failure with your return value:
        return Result.SUCCESS;

        // (Returning RETRY tells WorkManager to try this task again
        // later; FAILURE says not to try again.)
    }
}

Then you schedule when you want to run it.

    OneTimeWorkRequest compressionWork = 
        new OneTimeWorkRequest.Builder(CompressWorker.class)
            .build();
    WorkManager.getInstance().enqueue(compressionWork);

Easy! There are a lot of ways you can configure workers. It supports recurring jobs and you can even do complex stuff like chaining if you need it. Hope this helps.

Downgrade npm to an older version

Before doing that Download Node Js 8.11.3 from the URL: download

Open command prompt and run this:

npm install -g [email protected]

use this version this is the stable version which works along with cordova 7.1.0

for installing cordova use : • npm install -g [email protected]

• Run command

• Cordova platform remove android (if you have old android code or code is having some issue)

• Cordova platform add android : for building android app in cordova Running: Corodva run android

Vuejs: Event on route change

The above responses are the better, but just for completeness, when you are in a component you can access the history object inside the VueRouter with: this.$router.history. That means we can listen to changes with:

this.$router.listen((newLocation) =>{console.log(newLocation);})

I think this is mainly useful when used along with this.$router.currentRoute.path You can check what I am talking about placing a debugger

instruction in your code and begin playing with the Chrome DevTools Console.

Change arrow colors in Bootstraps carousel

This worked for me:

.carousel-control-prev-icon {
        background-image: url("data:image/svg+xml,%3csvg xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg' fill='%23000' width='8' height='8' viewBox='0 0 8 8'%3e%3cpath d='M5.25 0l-4 4 4 4 1.5-1.5L4.25 4l2.5-2.5L5.25 0z'/%3e%3c/svg%3e");
      }
      
      .carousel-control-next-icon {
        background-image: url("data:image/svg+xml,%3csvg xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg' fill='%23000' width='8' height='8' viewBox='0 0 8 8'%3e%3cpath d='M2.75 0l-1.5 1.5L3.75 4l-2.5 2.5L2.75 8l4-4-4-4z'/%3e%3c/svg%3e");
      }

I changed the color in the url of the icon. Thats the original that is used in the bootstrap page but with this section in black:

"...fill='%23000'..."

React - How to force a function component to render?

You can now, using React hooks

Using react hooks, you can now call useState() in your function component.

useState() will return an array of 2 things:

  1. A value, representing the current state.
  2. Its setter. Use it to update the value.

Updating the value by its setter will force your function component to re-render,
just like forceUpdate does:

import React, { useState } from 'react';

//create your forceUpdate hook
function useForceUpdate(){
    const [value, setValue] = useState(0); // integer state
    return () => setValue(value => value + 1); // update the state to force render
}

function MyComponent() {
    // call your hook here
    const forceUpdate = useForceUpdate();
    
    return (
        <div>
            {/*Clicking on the button will force to re-render like force update does */}
            <button onClick={forceUpdate}>
                Click to re-render
            </button>
        </div>
    );
}

You can find a demo here.

The component above uses a custom hook function (useForceUpdate) which uses the react state hook useState. It increments the component's state's value and thus tells React to re-render the component.

EDIT

In an old version of this answer, the snippet used a boolean value, and toggled it in forceUpdate(). Now that I've edited my answer, the snippet use a number rather than a boolean.

Why ? (you would ask me)

Because once it happened to me that my forceUpdate() was called twice subsequently from 2 different events, and thus it was reseting the boolean value at its original state, and the component never rendered.

This is because in the useState's setter (setValue here), React compare the previous state with the new one, and render only if the state is different.

HTTP Request in Kotlin

Maybe the simplest GET

For everybody stuck with NetworkOnMainThreadException for the other solutions: use AsyncTask or, even shorter, (yet still experimental) Coroutines:

launch {

    val jsonStr = URL("url").readText()

}

If you need to test with plain http don't forget to add to your manifest: android:usesCleartextTraffic="true"


For the experimental Coroutines you have to add to build.gradle as of 10/10/2018:

kotlin {
    experimental {
        coroutines 'enable'
    }
}
dependencies {
    implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-coroutines-core:0.24.0"
    implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-coroutines-android:0.24.0"
    ...

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'sklearn'

I had the same issue as the author, and ran into the issue with and without Anaconda and regardless of Python version. Everyone's environment is different, but after resolving it for myself I think that in some cases it may be due to having multiple version of Python installed. Each installed Python version has its own \Lib\site-packages\ folder which can contain a unique set of modules for that Python version, and where the IDE looks into folder path that doesn't have scikit-learn in it.

One way to try solve the issue: you might clear your system of all other Python versions and their cached/temp files/system variables, and then only have one version of Python installed anywhere. Then install the dependencies Numpy and Scipy, and finally Scikit-learn.

More detailed steps:

  1. Uninstall all Python versions and their launchers (e.g. from Control Panel in Windows) except the one version you want to keep. Delete any old Python version folders in the Python directory --uninstalling doesn't remove all files.
  2. Remove other Python versions from your OS' Environment Variables (both under the system and user variables sections)
  3. Clear temporary files. For example, for Windows, delete all AppData Temp cache files (in C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\Temp). In addition, you could also do a Windows disk cleanup for other temporary files, and then reboot.
  4. If your IDE supports it, create a new virtual environment in Settings, then set your only installed Python version as the interpreter.
  5. In your IDE, install the dependencies Scipy and Numpy from the module list first, then install Scikit-Learn.

As some others have suggested, the key is making sure your environment is set up correctly where everything points to the correct library folder on your computer where the Sklearn package is located. There are a few ways this can be resolved. My approach was more drastic, but it turns out that I had a very messy Python setup on my system so I had to start fresh.

How to increment a letter N times per iteration and store in an array?

Here is your solution for the problem,

$letter = array();
for ($i = 'A'; $i !== 'ZZ'; $i++){
        if(ord($i) % 2 != 0)
           $letter[] .= $i;
}
print_r($letter);

You need to get the ASCII value for that character which will solve your problem.

Here is ord doc and working code.

For your requirement, you can do like this,

for ($i = 'A'; $i !== 'ZZ'; ord($i)+$x){
  $letter[] .= $i;
}
print_r($letter);

Here set $x as per your requirement.

How to VueJS router-link active style

As mentioned above by @Ricky vue-router automatically applies two active classes, .router-link-active and .router-link-exact-active, to the component.

So, to change active link css use:

.router-link-exact-active{
 //your desired design when link is clicked
font-weight: 700;
}

Subtracting 1 day from a timestamp date

Use the INTERVAL type to it. E.g:

--yesterday
SELECT NOW() - INTERVAL '1 DAY';

--Unrelated to the question, but PostgreSQL also supports some shortcuts:
SELECT 'yesterday'::TIMESTAMP, 'tomorrow'::TIMESTAMP, 'allballs'::TIME;

Then you can do the following on your query:

SELECT 
    org_id,
    count(accounts) AS COUNT,
    ((date_at) - INTERVAL '1 DAY') AS dateat
FROM 
    sourcetable
WHERE 
    date_at <= now() - INTERVAL '130 DAYS'
GROUP BY 
    org_id,
    dateat;


TIPS

Tip 1

You can append multiple operands. E.g.: how to get last day of current month?

SELECT date_trunc('MONTH', CURRENT_DATE) + INTERVAL '1 MONTH - 1 DAY';

Tip 2

You can also create an interval using make_interval function, useful when you need to create it at runtime (not using literals):

SELECT make_interval(days => 10 + 2);
SELECT make_interval(days => 1, hours => 2);
SELECT make_interval(0, 1, 0, 5, 0, 0, 0.0);

How to Update a Component without refreshing full page - Angular

To update component

 @Injectable()
    export class LoginService{
    private isUserLoggedIn: boolean = false;

    public setLoggedInUser(flag) { // you need set header flag true false from other components on basis of your requirements, header component will be visible as per this flag then
    this.isUserLoggedIn= flag;
    }


public getUserLoggedIn(): boolean {
return this.isUserLoggedIn;
}

Login Component ts
            Login Component{
             constructor(public service: LoginService){}

public login(){
service.setLoggedInUser(true);
}
            }
Inside Header component

 Header Component ts
        HeaderComponent {
         constructor(public service: LoginService){}

         public getUserLoggedIn(): boolean { return this.service.getUserLoggedIn()}
        }

template of header component: Check for user sign in here

<button *ngIf="getUserLoggedIn()">Sign Out</button>
<button *ngIf="!getUserLoggedIn()">Sign In</button>

You can use many approach like show hide using ngIf

App Component ts
AppComponent {
 public showHeader: boolean = true;
}
App Component html
<div *ngIf='showHeader'> // you show hide on basis of this ngIf and header component always get visible with it's lifecycle hook ngOnInit() called all the time when it get visible
<app-header></app-header>
</div>
<router-outlet></router-outlet>
<app-footer></app-footer>

You can also use service

@Injectable()
export class AppService {
private showHeader: boolean = false;

public setHeader(flag) { // you need set header flag true false from other components on basis of your requirements, header component will be visible as per this flag then
this.showHeader = flag;
}

public getHeader(): boolean {
return this.showHeader;
}
}

App Component.ts
    AppComponent {
     constructor(public service: AppService){}
    }

App Component.html
    <div *ngIf='service.showHeader'> // you show hide on basis of this ngIf and header component always get visible with it's lifecycle hook ngOnInit() called all the time when it get visible
    <app-header></app-header>
    </div>
    <router-outlet></router-outlet>
    <app-footer></app-footer>

Get first line of a shell command's output

Yes, that is one way to get the first line of output from a command.

If the command outputs anything to standard error that you would like to capture in the same manner, you need to redirect the standard error of the command to the standard output stream:

utility 2>&1 | head -n 1

There are many other ways to capture the first line too, including sed 1q (quit after first line), sed -n 1p (only print first line, but read everything), awk 'FNR == 1' (only print first line, but again, read everything) etc.

Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, unlink 'D:\Sources\**\node_modules\fsevents\node_modules\abbrev\package.json'

This did the magic for me:

  1. Close all editors/IDEs and other open consoles.
  2. Open a new cmd prompt in the project folder.
  3. Run the command npm install node-sass@^4.14.1
  4. Run the command npm install --no-optional

P.S.: My node version was above 14.

How to calculate 1st and 3rd quartiles?

Building upon or rather correcting a bit on what Babak said....

np.percentile DOES VERY MUCH calculate the values of Q1, median, and Q3. Consider the sorted list below:

s1=[18,45,66,70,76,83,88,90,90,95,95,98]

running np.percentile(s1, [25, 50, 75]) returns the actual values from the list:

[69.  85.5  91.25]

However, the quartiles are Q1=68.0, Median=85.5, Q3=92.5, which is the correct thing to say

What we are missing here is the interpolation parameter of the np.percentile and related functions. By default the value of this argument is linear. This optional parameter specifies the interpolation method to use when the desired quantile lies between two data points i < j:
linear: i + (j - i) * fraction, where fraction is the fractional part of the index surrounded by i and j.
lower: i.
higher: j.
nearest: i or j, whichever is nearest.
midpoint: (i + j) / 2.

Thus running np.percentile(s1, [25, 50, 75], interpolation='midpoint') returns the actual results for the list:

[68. 85.5 92.5]

I've just had the same issue - for me Privacy Badger on Firefox was the issue - not adblocker. Posting for posterity

JSON parse error: Can not construct instance of java.time.LocalDate: no String-argument constructor/factory method to deserialize from String value

I had a similar issue which i solved by making two changes

  1. added below entry in application.yaml file

    spring: jackson: serialization.write_dates_as_timestamps: false

  2. add below two annotations in pojo

    1. @JsonDeserialize(using = LocalDateDeserializer.class)
    2. @JsonSerialize(using = LocalDateSerializer.class)

    sample example

    import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.annotation.JsonDeserialize; import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.annotation.JsonSerialize; public class Customer { //your fields ... @JsonDeserialize(using = LocalDateDeserializer.class) @JsonSerialize(using = LocalDateSerializer.class) protected LocalDate birthdate; }

then the following json requests worked for me

  1. sample request format as string

{ "birthdate": "2019-11-28" }

  1. sample request format as array

{ "birthdate":[2019,11,18] }

Hope it helps!!

How to listen to the window scroll event in a VueJS component?

I think the best approach is just add ".passive"

v-on:scroll.passive='handleScroll'

Add class to an element in Angular 4

Here is a plunker showing how you can use it with the ngClass directive.

I'm demonstrating with divs instead of imgs though.

Template:

<ul>
      <li><div [ngClass]="{'this-is-a-class': selectedIndex == 1}" (click)="setSelected(1)"> </div></li>
      <li><div [ngClass]="{'this-is-a-class': selectedIndex == 2}" (click)="setSelected(2)"> </div></li>
      <li><div [ngClass]="{'this-is-a-class': selectedIndex == 3}" (click)="setSelected(3)"> </div></li>
</ul>

TS:

export class App {
  selectedIndex = -1;

  setSelected(id: number) {
    this.selectedIndex = id;
  }
}

Update some specific field of an entity in android Room

As of Room 2.2.0 released October 2019, you can specify a Target Entity for updates. Then if the update parameter is different, Room will only update the partial entity columns. An example for the OP question will show this a bit more clearly.

@Update(entity = Tour::class)
fun update(obj: TourUpdate)

@Entity
public class TourUpdate {
    @ColumnInfo(name = "id")
    public long id;
    @ColumnInfo(name = "endAddress")
    private String endAddress;
}

Notice you have to a create a new partial entity called TourUpdate, along with your real Tour entity in the question. Now when you call update with a TourUpdate object, it will update endAddress and leave the startAddress value the same. This works perfect for me for my usecase of an insertOrUpdate method in my DAO that updates the DB with new remote values from the API but leaves the local app data in the table alone.

Wrapping text inside input type="text" element HTML/CSS

You can not use input for it, you need to use textarea instead. Use textarea with the wrap="soft"code and optional the rest of the attributes like this:

<textarea name="text" rows="14" cols="10" wrap="soft"> </textarea>

Atributes: To limit the amount of text in it for example to "40" characters you can add the attribute maxlength="40" like this: <textarea name="text" rows="14" cols="10" wrap="soft" maxlength="40"></textarea> To hide the scroll the style for it. if you only use overflow:scroll; or overflow:hidden; or overflow:auto; it will only take affect for one scroll bar. If you want different attributes for each scroll bar then use the attributes like this overflow:scroll; overflow-x:auto; overflow-y:hidden; in the style area: To make the textarea not resizable you can use the style with resize:none; like this:

<textarea name="text" rows="14" cols="10" wrap="soft" maxlength="40" style="overflow:hidden; resize:none;></textarea>

That way you can have or example a textarea with 14 rows and 10 cols with word wrap and max character length of "40" characters that works exactly like a input text box does but with rows instead and without using input text.

NOTE: textarea works with rows unlike like input <input type="text" name="tbox" size="10"></input> that is made to not work with rows at all.

where !string.IsNullOrEmpty(p.SomeId) && p.LastPublished >= lastDate                         
group new { p, bp } by new { p.SomeId } into pg    
let firstproductgroup = pg.FirstOrDefault()
let product = firstproductgroup.p
let baseproduct = firstproductgroup.bp
let minprice = pg.Min(m => m.p.Price)
let maxprice = pg.Max(m => m.p.Price)
select new ProductPriceMinMax
{
SomeId = product.SomeId,
BaseProductName = baseproduct.Name,
CountryCode = product.CountryCode,
MinPrice = minprice, 
MaxPrice = maxprice
};

How to Update a Component without refreshing full page - Angular

To refresh the component at regular intervals I found this the best method. In the ngOnInit method setTimeOut function

ngOnInit(): void {
  setTimeout(() => { this.ngOnInit() }, 1000 * 10)
}
//10 is the number of seconds

Running multiple AsyncTasks at the same time -- not possible?

if you want to execute tasks parallel,you need call the method executeOnExecutor(AsyncTask.THREAD_POOL_EXECUTOR, "your task name") after Android version of 3.0; but this method is not exist before Android 3.0 and after 1.6 because it execute parallel by itself, So I suggest you customize your own AsyncTask class in your project,to avoid throw exception in different Android version.

How to add time to DateTime in SQL

Struct like objects in Java

As with most things, there's the general rule and then there are specific circumstances. If you are doing a closed, captured application so that you know how a given object is going to be used, then you can exercise more freedom to favor visibility and/or efficiency. If you're developing a class which is going to be used publicly by others beyond your control, then lean towards the getter/setter model. As with all things, just use common sense. It's often ok to do an initial round with publics and then change them to getter/setters later.

Disabling Warnings generated via _CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE

Combination of @[macbirdie] and @[Adrian Borchardt] answer. Which proves to be very useful in production environment (not messing up previously existing warning, especially during cross-platform compile)

#pragma warning(push)
#pragma warning(disable: 4996) // Disable deprecation
#endif 
//...                          // ...

What is the meaning of the word logits in TensorFlow?

Here is a concise answer for future readers. Tensorflow's logit is defined as the output of a neuron without applying activation function:

logit = w*x + b,

x: input, w: weight, b: bias. That's it.


The following is irrelevant to this question.

For historical lectures, read other answers. Hats off to Tensorflow's "creatively" confusing naming convention. In PyTorch, there is only one CrossEntropyLoss and it accepts un-activated outputs. Convolutions, matrix multiplications and activations are same level operations. The design is much more modular and less confusing. This is one of the reasons why I switched from Tensorflow to PyTorch.

word-wrap break-word does not work in this example

  • inline-block is of no use in this scenario

SOLUTION

  • word-break: normal|break-all|keep-all|break-word|initial|inherit;
    Simple Answer to your doubt is Use above and make sure white-space: nowrap nowhere used.

NOTE FOR BETTER UNDERSTANDING:

  • word-wrap/overflow-wrap is used to break words that overflow their container

  • word-break property breaks all words at the end of a line, even those that would normally wrap onto another line and wouldn’t overflow their container.

  • word-wrap is the historic and nonstandard property. It has been renamed to overflow-wrap but remains an alias, browsers must support in future. Many browsers (especially the old ones) don’t support overflow-wrap and require word-wrap as a fallback (which is supported by all).

  • If you want to please the W3C you should consider associate both in your CSS. If you don’t, using word-wrap alone is just fine.

Which @NotNull Java annotation should I use?

Android

This answer is Android specific. Android has support package called support-annotations. This provides dozens of Android specific annotations and also provides common ones like NonNull, Nullable etc.

To add support-annotations package, add the following dependency in your build.gradle:

compile 'com.android.support:support-annotations:23.1.1'

and then use:

import android.support.annotation.NonNull;

void foobar(@NonNull Foo bar) {}

Which terminal command to get just IP address and nothing else?

In man hostname there is even more easier way which automatically excluding loopback IP and showing only space separated list of all assigned to host ip addresses:

Omitting one Setter/Getter in Lombok

You can pass an access level to the @Getter and @Setter annotations. This is useful to make getters or setters protected or private. It can also be used to override the default.

With @Data, you have public access to the accessors by default. You can now use the special access level NONE to completely omit the accessor, like this:

@Getter(AccessLevel.NONE)
@Setter(AccessLevel.NONE)
private int mySecret;

How to print Two-Dimensional Array like table

For traversing through a 2D array, I think the following for loop can be used.

        for(int a[]: twoDm)
        {
            System.out.println(Arrays.toString(a));
        }
if you don't want the commas you can string replace
if you want this to be performant you should loop through a[] and then print it.

PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '?' in helpers.php 233

  3. sudo service apache2 restart

Check if string doesn't contain another string

The answers you got assumed static text to compare against. If you want to compare against another column (say, you're joining two tables, and want to find ones where a column from one table is part of a column from another table), you can do this

WHERE NOT (someColumn LIKE '%' || someOtherColumn || '%')

How to get absolute path to file in /resources folder of your project

To return a file or filepath

Entity Framework (EF) Code First Cascade Delete for One-to-Zero-or-One relationship

This code worked for me

protected override void OnModelCreating(DbModelBuilder modelBuilder)
    {
        modelBuilder.Entity<UserDetail>()
            .HasRequired(d => d.User)
            .WithOptional(u => u.UserDetail)
            .WillCascadeOnDelete(true);
    }

The migration code was:

public override void Up()
    {
        AddForeignKey("UserDetail", "UserId", "User", "UserId", cascadeDelete: true);
    }

And it worked fine. When I first used

modelBuilder.Entity<User>()
    .HasOptional(a => a.UserDetail)
    .WithOptionalDependent()
    .WillCascadeOnDelete(true);

The migration code was:

AddForeignKey("User", "UserDetail_UserId", "UserDetail", "UserId", cascadeDelete: true); 

but it does not match any of the two overloads available (in EntityFramework 6)

Better way to call javascript function in a tag

Neither is good.

Behaviour should be configured independent of the actual markup. For instance, in jQuery you might do something like

$('#the-element').click(function () { /* perform action here */ });

in a separate <script> block.

The advantage of this is that it

  1. Separates markup and behaviour in the same way that CSS separates markup and style
  2. Centralises configuration (this is somewhat a corollary of 1).
  3. Is trivially extensible to include more than one argument using jQuery’s powerful selector syntax

Furthermore, it degrades gracefully (but so would using the onclick event) since you can provide the link tags with a href in case the user doesn’t have JavaScript enabled.

Of course, these arguments still count if you’re not using jQuery or another JavaScript library (but why do that?).

The tilde operator in Python

It is a unary operator (taking a single argument) that is borrowed from C, where all data types are just different ways of interpreting bytes. It is the "invert" or "complement" operation, in which all the bits of the input data are reversed.

In Python, for integers, the bits of the twos-complement representation of the integer are reversed (as in b <- b XOR 1 for each individual bit), and the result interpreted again as a twos-complement integer. So for integers, ~x is equivalent to (-x) - 1.

The reified form of the ~ operator is provided as operator.invert. To support this operator in your own class, give it an __invert__(self) method.

>>> import operator
>>> class Foo:
...   def __invert__(self):
...     print 'invert'
...
>>> x = Foo()
>>> operator.invert(x)
invert
>>> ~x
invert

Any class in which it is meaningful to have a "complement" or "inverse" of an instance that is also an instance of the same class is a possible candidate for the invert operator. However, operator overloading can lead to confusion if misused, so be sure that it really makes sense to do so before supplying an __invert__ method to your class. (Note that byte-strings [ex: '\xff'] do not support this operator, even though it is meaningful to invert all the bits of a byte-string.)

Html table with button on each row

Pretty sure this solves what you're looking for:

HTML:

<table>
    <tr><td><button class="editbtn">edit</button></td></tr>
    <tr><td><button class="editbtn">edit</button></td></tr>
    <tr><td><button class="editbtn">edit</button></td></tr>
    <tr><td><button class="editbtn">edit</button></td></tr>
</table>

Javascript (using jQuery):

$(document).ready(function(){
    $('.editbtn').click(function(){
        $(this).html($(this).html() == 'edit' ? 'modify' : 'edit');
    });
});

Edit:

Apparently I should have looked at your sample code first ;)

You need to change (at least) the ID attribute of each element. The ID is the unique identifier for each element on the page, meaning that if you have multiple items with the same ID, you'll get conflicts.

By using classes, you can apply the same logic to multiple elements without any conflicts.

JSFiddle sample

What does a question mark represent in SQL queries?

I don't think that has any meaning in SQL. You might be looking at Prepared Statements in JDBC or something. In that case, the question marks are placeholders for parameters to the statement.

What is difference between arm64 and armhf?

armhf stands for "arm hard float", and is the name given to a debian port for arm processors (armv7+) that have hardware floating point support.

On the beaglebone black, for example:

:~$ dpkg --print-architecture
armhf

Although other commands (such as uname -a or arch) will just show armv7l

:~$ cat /proc/cpuinfo 
processor       : 0
model name      : ARMv7 Processor rev 2 (v7l)
BogoMIPS        : 995.32
Features        : half thumb fastmult vfp edsp thumbee neon vfpv3 tls
...

The vfpv3 listed under Features is what refers to the floating point support.

Incidentally, armhf, if your processor supports it, basically supersedes Raspbian, which if I understand correctly was mainly a rebuild of armhf with work arounds to deal with the lack of floating point support on the original raspberry pi's. Nowdays, of course, there's a whole ecosystem build up around Raspbian, so they're probably not going to abandon it. However, this is partly why the beaglebone runs straight debian, and that's ok even if you're used to Raspbian, unless you want some of the special included non-free software such as Mathematica.

How do you tell if caps lock is on using JavaScript?

You can detect caps lock using "is letter uppercase and no shift pressed" using a keypress capture on the document. But then you better be sure that no other keypress handler pops the event bubble before it gets to the handler on the document.

document.onkeypress = function ( e ) {
  e = e || window.event;
  var s = String.fromCharCode( e.keyCode || e.which );
  if ( (s.toUpperCase() === s) !== e.shiftKey ) {
    // alert('caps is on')
  }
}

You could grab the event during the capturing phase in browsers that support that, but it seems somewhat pointless to as it won't work on all browsers.

I can't think of any other way of actually detecting caps lock status. The check is simple anyway and if non detectable characters were typed, well... then detecting wasn't necessary.

There was an article on 24 ways on this last year. Quite good, but lacks international character support (use toUpperCase() to get around that).

Is there a better way to refresh WebView?

1) In case you want to reload the same URL:

mWebView.loadUrl("http://www.websitehere.php");

so the full code would be

newButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
   public void onClick(View v) {
    dgeActivity.this.mWebView.loadUrl("http://www.websitehere.php");
   }});

2) You can also call mWebView.reload() but be aware this reposts a page if the request was POST, so only works correctly with GET.

ASP.Net MVC: Calling a method from a view

This is how you call an instance method on the Controller:

@{
  ((HomeController)this.ViewContext.Controller).Method1();
}

This is how you call a static method in any class

@{
    SomeClass.Method();
}

This will work assuming the method is public and visible to the view.

Use a content script to access the page context variables and functions

I've also faced the problem of ordering of loaded scripts, which was solved through sequential loading of scripts. The loading is based on Rob W's answer.

function scriptFromFile(file) {
    var script = document.createElement("script");
    script.src = chrome.extension.getURL(file);
    return script;
}

function scriptFromSource(source) {
    var script = document.createElement("script");
    script.textContent = source;
    return script;
}

function inject(scripts) {
    if (scripts.length === 0)
        return;
    var otherScripts = scripts.slice(1);
    var script = scripts[0];
    var onload = function() {
        script.parentNode.removeChild(script);
        inject(otherScripts);
    };
    if (script.src != "") {
        script.onload = onload;
        document.head.appendChild(script);
    } else {
        document.head.appendChild(script);
        onload();
    }
}

The example of usage would be:

var formulaImageUrl = chrome.extension.getURL("formula.png");
var codeImageUrl = chrome.extension.getURL("code.png");

inject([
    scriptFromSource("var formulaImageUrl = '" + formulaImageUrl + "';"),
    scriptFromSource("var codeImageUrl = '" + codeImageUrl + "';"),
    scriptFromFile("EqEditor/eq_editor-lite-17.js"),
    scriptFromFile("EqEditor/eq_config.js"),
    scriptFromFile("highlight/highlight.pack.js"),
    scriptFromFile("injected.js")
]);

Actually, I'm kinda new to JS, so feel free to ping me to the better ways.

AngularJS $http, CORS and http authentication

No you don't have to put credentials, You have to put headers on client side eg:

 $http({
        url: 'url of service',
        method: "POST",
        data: {test :  name },
        withCredentials: true,
        headers: {
                    'Content-Type': 'application/json; charset=utf-8'
        }
    });

And and on server side you have to put headers to this is example for nodejs:

/**
 * On all requests add headers
 */
app.all('*', function(req, res,next) {


    /**
     * Response settings
     * @type {Object}
     */
    var responseSettings = {
        "AccessControlAllowOrigin": req.headers.origin,
        "AccessControlAllowHeaders": "Content-Type,X-CSRF-Token, X-Requested-With, Accept, Accept-Version, Content-Length, Content-MD5,  Date, X-Api-Version, X-File-Name",
        "AccessControlAllowMethods": "POST, GET, PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS",
        "AccessControlAllowCredentials": true
    };

    /**
     * Headers
     */
    res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Credentials", responseSettings.AccessControlAllowCredentials);
    res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin",  responseSettings.AccessControlAllowOrigin);
    res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Headers", (req.headers['access-control-request-headers']) ? req.headers['access-control-request-headers'] : "x-requested-with");
    res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Methods", (req.headers['access-control-request-method']) ? req.headers['access-control-request-method'] : responseSettings.AccessControlAllowMethods);

    if ('OPTIONS' == req.method) {
        res.send(200);
    }
    else {
        next();
    }


});

Is module __file__ attribute absolute or relative?

With the help of the of Guido mail provided by @kindall, we can understand the standard import process as trying to find the module in each member of sys.path, and file as the result of this lookup (more details in PyMOTW Modules and Imports.). So if the module is located in an absolute path in sys.path the result is absolute, but if it is located in a relative path in sys.path the result is relative.

Now the site.py startup file takes care of delivering only absolute path in sys.path, except the initial '', so if you don't change it by other means than setting the PYTHONPATH (whose path are also made absolute, before prefixing sys.path), you will get always an absolute path, but when the module is accessed through the current directory.

Now if you trick sys.path in a funny way you can get anything.

As example if you have a sample module foo.py in /tmp/ with the code:

import sys
print(sys.path)
print (__file__)

If you go in /tmp you get:

>>> import foo
['', '/tmp', '/usr/lib/python3.3', ...]
./foo.py

When in in /home/user, if you add /tmp your PYTHONPATH you get:

>>> import foo
['', '/tmp', '/usr/lib/python3.3', ...]
/tmp/foo.py

Even if you add ../../tmp, it will be normalized and the result is the same.

But if instead of using PYTHONPATH you use directly some funny path you get a result as funny as the cause.

>>> import sys
>>> sys.path.append('../../tmp')
>>> import foo
['', '/usr/lib/python3.3', .... , '../../tmp']
../../tmp/foo.py

Guido explains in the above cited thread, why python do not try to transform all entries in absolute paths:

we don't want to have to call getpwd() on every import .... getpwd() is relatively slow and can sometimes fail outright,

So your path is used as it is.

htaccess redirect to https://www

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]

Notes: Make sure you have done the following steps

  1. sudo a2enmod rewrite
  2. sudo service apache2 restart
  3. Add Following in your vhost file, located at /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf
<Directory /var/www/html>
  Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
  AllowOverride All
  Order allow,deny
  allow from all
  Require all granted
</Directory>

Now your .htaccess will work and your site will redirect to http:// to https://www

ImportError: Couldn't import Django

I faced the same problem when I was doing it on windows 10. The problem could be that the path is not defined for manage.py in the environment variables. I did the following steps and it worked out for me!

  1. Go to Start menu and search for manage.py.
  2. Right click on it and select "copy full path".
  3. Go to your "My Computer" or "This PC".
  4. Right click and select "Properties".
  5. Select Advanced settings.
  6. Select "Environment Variables."
  7. In the lower window, find "Path", click on it and click edit.
  8. Finally, click on "Add New".
  9. Paste the copied path with CTRL-V.
  10. Click OK and then restart you CMD with Administrator privileges.

I really hope it works!

The POST method is not supported for this route. Supported methods: GET, HEAD. Laravel

There are multiple ways you can handle this:

  1. If you insist on using PUT you can change the form action to POST and add a hidden method_field that has a value PUTand a hidden csrf field (if you are using blade then you just need to add @csrf_field and {{ method_field('PUT') }}). This way the form would accept the request.

  2. You can simply change the route and form method to POST. It will work just fine since you are the one defining the route and not using the resource group.

HTTP headers in Websockets client API

More of an alternate solution, but all modern browsers send the domain cookies along with the connection, so using:

var authToken = 'R3YKZFKBVi';

document.cookie = 'X-Authorization=' + authToken + '; path=/';

var ws = new WebSocket(
    'wss://localhost:9000/wss/'
);

End up with the request connection headers:

Cookie: X-Authorization=R3YKZFKBVi

How to insert a row in an HTML table body in JavaScript

If you want to add a row into the tbody, get a reference to it and call its insertRow method.

_x000D_
_x000D_
var tbodyRef = document.getElementById('myTable').getElementsByTagName('tbody')[0];

// Insert a row at the end of table
var newRow = tbodyRef.insertRow();

// Insert a cell at the end of the row
var newCell = newRow.insertCell();

// Append a text node to the cell
var newText = document.createTextNode('new row');
newCell.appendChild(newText);
_x000D_
<table id="myTable">
  <thead>

How to check if a variable is an integer in JavaScript?

Add class numOnly for the textbox,

$(document).on("input", ".numOnly", function(e) {
    this.value = this.value.replace(/[^0-9\$]/g,'');
    if(this.value!=""){
      alert('Integer Number.');
    }else{
      alert('Not an Integer Number.');
   }
});

It works for me.. Try this one

You can use keypres,keyup,keydown etc., instead input.

Calling one method from another within same class in Python

To accessing member functions or variables from one scope to another scope (In your case one method to another method we need to refer method or variable with class object. and you can do it by referring with self keyword which refer as class object.

class YourClass():

    def your_function(self, *args):

        self.callable_function(param) # if you need to pass any parameter

    def callable_function(self, *params): 
        print('Your param:', param)

How to re-index all subarray elements of a multidimensional array?

PHP native function exists for this. See http://php.net/manual/en/function.reset.php

Simply do this: mixed reset ( array &$array )

div inside table

While you can, as others have noted here, put a DIV inside a TD (not as a direct child of TABLE), I strongly advise against using a DIV as a child of a TD. Unless, of course, you're a fan of headaches.

There is little to be gained and a whole lot to be lost, as there are many cross-browser discrepancies regarding how widths, margins, borders, etc., are handled when you combine the two. I can't tell you how many times I've had to clean up that kind of markup for clients because they were having trouble getting their HTML to display correctly in this or that browser.

Then again, if you're not fussy about how things look, disregard this advice.

PowerShell script to return versions of .NET Framework on a machine?

Not pretty. Definitely not pretty:

ls $Env:windir\Microsoft.NET\Framework | ? { $_.PSIsContainer } | select -exp Name -l 1

This may or may not work. But as far as the latest version is concerned this should be pretty reliable, as there are essentially empty folders for old versions (1.0, 1.1) but not newer ones – those only appear once the appropriate framework is installed.

Still, I suspect there must be a better way.

How can I programmatically invoke an onclick() event from a anchor tag while keeping the ‘this’ reference in the onclick function?

Old thread, but the question is still relevant, so...

(1) The example in your question now DOES work in Firefox. However in addition to calling the event handler (which displays an alert), it ALSO clicks on the link, causing navigation (once the alert is dismissed).

(2) To JUST call the event handler (without triggering navigation) merely replace:

document.getElementById('linkid').click();

with

document.getElementById('linkid').onclick();

PHPMailer AddAddress()

All answers are great. Here is an example use case for multiple add address: The ability to add as many email you want on demand with a web form:

See it in action with jsfiddle here (except the php processor)

### Send unlimited email with a web form
# Form for continuously adding e-mails:
<button type="button" onclick="emailNext();">Click to Add Another Email.</button>
<div id="addEmail"></div>
<button type="submit">Send All Emails</button>
# Script function:
<script>
function emailNext() {
    var nextEmail, inside_where;
    nextEmail = document.createElement('input');
    nextEmail.type = 'text';
    nextEmail.name = 'emails[]';
    nextEmail.className = 'class_for_styling';
    nextEmail.style.display = 'block';
    nextEmail.placeholder  = 'Enter E-mail Here';
    inside_where = document.getElementById('addEmail');
    inside_where.appendChild(nextEmail);
    return false;
}
</script>
# PHP Data Processor:
<?php
// ...
// Add the rest of your $mailer here...
if ($_POST[emails]){
    foreach ($_POST[emails] AS $postEmail){
        if ($postEmail){$mailer->AddAddress($postEmail);}
    }
} 
?>

So what it does basically is to generate a new input text box on every click with the name "emails[]".

The [] added at the end makes it an array when posted.

Then we go through each element of the array with "foreach" on PHP side adding the:

    $mailer->AddAddress($postEmail);

Make 2 functions run at the same time

One option, that looks like it makes two functions run at the same
time
, is using the threading module (example in this answer).

However, it has a small delay, as an Official Python Documentation
page describes. A better module to try using is multiprocessing.

Also, there's other Python modules that can be used for asynchronous execution (two pieces of code working at the same time). For some information about them and help to choose one, you can read this Stack Overflow question.

Comment from another user about the threading module

He might want to know that because of the Global Interpreter Lock
they will not execute at the exact same time even if the machine in
question has multiple CPUs. wiki.python.org/moin/GlobalInterpreterLock

– Jonas Elfström Jun 2 '10 at 11:39

Quote from the Documentation about threading module not working

CPython implementation detail: In CPython, due to the Global Interpreter
Lock, only one thread can execute Python code at once (even though
certain performance-oriented libraries might overcome this limitation).

If you want your application to make better use of the computational resources of multi-core machines, you are advised to use multiprocessing or concurrent.futures.ProcessPoolExecutor.
However, threading is still an appropriate model if you
want to run multiple I/O-bound tasks simultaneously.

Best way to remove the last character from a string built with stringbuilder

The simplest and most efficient way is to perform this command:

data.Length--;

by doing this you move the pointer (i.e. last index) back one character but you don't change the mutability of the object. In fact, clearing a StringBuilder is best done with Length as well (but do actually use the Clear() method for clarity instead because that's what its implementation looks like):

data.Length = 0;

again, because it doesn't change the allocation table. Think of it like saying, I don't want to recognize these bytes anymore. Now, even when calling ToString(), it won't recognize anything past its Length, well, it can't. It's a mutable object that allocates more space than what you provide it, it's simply built this way.

In Python, how to check if a string only contains certain characters?

A different approach, because in my case I needed to also check whether it contained certain words (like 'test' in this example), not characters alone:

input_string = 'abc test'
input_string_test = input_string
allowed_list = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'test', ' ']

for allowed_list_item in allowed_list:
    input_string_test = input_string_test.replace(allowed_list_item, '')

if not input_string_test:
    # test passed

So, the allowed strings (char or word) are cut from the input string. If the input string only contained strings that were allowed, it should leave an empty string and therefore should pass if not input_string.

Open Sublime Text from Terminal in macOS

This worked for me (I'm using OS X Mavericks)

First, create a symbolic link:

Image resolution for new iPhone 6 and 6+, @3x support added?

I've tried in a sample project to use standard, @2x and @3x images, and the iPhone 6+ simulator uses the @3x image. So it would seem that there are @3x images to be done (if the simulator actually replicates the device's behavior). But the strange thing is that all devices (simulators) seem to use this @3x image when it's on the project structure, iPhone 4S/iPhone 5 too.
The lack of communication from Apple on a potential @3x structure, while they ask developers to publish their iOS8 apps is quite confusing, especially when seeing those results on simulator.

**Edit from Apple's Website **: Also found this on the "What's new on iOS 8" section on Apple's developer space :

Support for a New Screen Scale The iPhone 6 Plus uses a new Retina HD display with a screen scale of 3.0. To provide the best possible experience on these devices, include new artwork designed for this screen scale. In Xcode 6, asset catalogs can include images at 1x, 2x, and 3x sizes; simply add the new image assets and iOS will choose the correct assets when running on an iPhone 6 Plus. The image loading behavior in iOS also recognizes an @3x suffix.

Still not understanding why all devices seem to load the @3x. Maybe it's because I'm using regular files and not xcassets ? Will try soon.

Edit after further testing : Ok it seems that iOS8 has a talk in this. When testing on an iOS 7.1 iPhone 5 simulator, it uses correctly the @2x image. But when launching the same on iOS 8 it uses the @3x on iPhone 5. Not sure if that's a wanted behavior or a mistake/bug in iOS8 GM or simulators in Xcode 6 though.

How can you program if you're blind?

Keep in mind that "blind" is a range of conditions - there are some who are legally blind that could read a really large monitor or with magnification help, and then there are those who have no vision at all. I remember a classmate in college who had a special device to magnify books, and special software she could use to magnify a part of the screen. She was working hard to finish college, because her eyesight was getting worse and was going to go away completely.

Programming also has a spectrum of needs - some people are good at cranking out lots and lots of code, and some people are better at looking at the big picture and architecture. I would imagine that given the difficulty imposed by the screen interface, blindness may enhance your ability to get the big picture...

shell script. how to extract string using regular expressions

Using bash regular expressions:

re="http://([^/]+)/"
if [[ $name =~ $re ]]; then echo ${BASH_REMATCH[1]}; fi

Edit - OP asked for explanation of syntax. Regular expression syntax is a large topic which I can't explain in full here, but I will attempt to explain enough to understand the example.

re="http://([^/]+)/"

This is the regular expression stored in a bash variable, re - i.e. what you want your input string to match, and hopefully extract a substring. Breaking it down:

  • http:// is just a string - the input string must contain this substring for the regular expression to match
  • [] Normally square brackets are used say "match any character within the brackets". So c[ao]t would match both "cat" and "cot". The ^ character within the [] modifies this to say "match any character except those within the square brackets. So in this case [^/] will match any character apart from "/".
  • The square bracket expression will only match one character. Adding a + to the end of it says "match 1 or more of the preceding sub-expression". So [^/]+ matches 1 or more of the set of all characters, excluding "/".
  • Putting () parentheses around a subexpression says that you want to save whatever matched that subexpression for later processing. If the language you are using supports this, it will provide some mechanism to retrieve these submatches. For bash, it is the BASH_REMATCH array.
  • Finally we do an exact match on "/" to make sure we match all the way to end of the fully qualified domain name and the following "/"

Next, we have to test the input string against the regular expression to see if it matches. We can use a bash conditional to do that:

if [[ $name =~ $re ]]; then
    echo ${BASH_REMATCH[1]}
fi

In bash, the [[ ]] specify an extended conditional test, and may contain the =~ bash regular expression operator. In this case we test whether the input string $name matches the regular expression $re. If it does match, then due to the construction of the regular expression, we are guaranteed that we will have a submatch (from the parentheses ()), and we can access it using the BASH_REMATCH array:

  • Element 0 of this array ${BASH_REMATCH[0]} will be the entire string matched by the regular expression, i.e. "http://www.google.com/".
  • Subsequent elements of this array will be subsequent results of submatches. Note you can have multiple submatch () within a regular expression - The BASH_REMATCH elements will correspond to these in order. So in this case ${BASH_REMATCH[1]} will contain "www.google.com", which I think is the string you want.

Note that the contents of the BASH_REMATCH array only apply to the last time the regular expression =~ operator was used. So if you go on to do more regular expression matches, you must save the contents you need from this array each time.

This may seem like a lengthy description, but I have really glossed over several of the intricacies of regular expressions. They can be quite powerful, and I believe with decent performance, but the regular expression syntax is complex. Also regular expression implementations vary, so different languages will support different features and may have subtle differences in syntax. In particular escaping of characters within a regular expression can be a thorny issue, especially when those characters would have an otherwise different meaning in the given language.


Note that instead of setting the $re variable on a separate line and referring to this variable in the condition, you can put the regular expression directly into the condition. However in bash 3.2, the rules were changed regarding whether quotes around such literal regular expressions are required or not. Putting the regular expression in a separate variable is a straightforward way around this, so that the condition works as expected in all bash versions that support the =~ match operator.

How to append strings using sprintf?

You can use the simple line shown below to append strings in one buffer:

sprintf(Buffer,"%s %s %s","Hello World","Good Morning","Good Afternoon");

How to Initialize char array from a string

You can't - in C. In C initializing of global and local static variables are designed such that the compiler can put the values statically into the executable. It can't handle non-constant expressions as initializers. And only in C99, you can use non-constant expression in aggregate initializers - not so in C89!

In your case, since your array is an array containing characters, each element has to be an arithmetic constant expression. Look what it says about those

An arithmetic constant expression shall have arithmetic type and shall only have operands that are integer constants, ?oating constants, enumeration constants, character constants, and sizeof expressions.

Surely this is not satisfied by your initializer, which uses an operand of pointer type. Surely, the other way is to initialize your array using a string literal, as it explains too

All the expressions in an initializer for an object that has static storage duration shall be constant expressions or string literals.

All quotes are taken out of the C99 TC3 committee draft. So to conclude, what you want to do - using non-constant expression - can't be done with C. You have several options:

  • Write your stuff multiple times - one time reversed, and the other time not reversed.
  • Change the language - C++ can do that all.
  • If you really want to do that stuff, use an array of char const* instead

Here is what i mean by the last option

char const c[] = "ABCD";
char const *f[] = { &c[0], &c[1], &c[2], &c[3] };
char const *g[] = { &c[3], &c[2], &c[1], &c[0] };

That works fine, as an address constant expression is used to initialize the pointers

An address constant is a null pointer, a pointer to an lvalue designating an object of static storage duration, or a pointer to a function designator; it shall be created explicitly using the unary & operator or an integer constant cast to pointer type, or implicitly by the use of an expression of array or function type. The array-subscript [] and member-access . and -> operators, the address & and indirection * unary operators, and pointer casts may be used in the creation of an address constant, but the value of an object shall not be accessed by use of these operators.

You may have luck tweaking your compiler options - another quote:

An implementation may accept other forms of constant expressions.

    ([Views].Hostname = [GS].Hostname) 
    AND ([GS].APPID = [Views].APPID)

x->y can mean 2 things. If x is a pointer, then it means member y of object pointed to by x. If x is an object with operator->() overloaded, then it means x.operator->().

Angular 4 setting selected option in Dropdown

Lets see an example with Select control
binded to: $scope.cboPais,
source: $scope.geoPaises

HTML

<select 
  ng-model="cboPais"  
  ng-options="item.strPais for item in geoPaises"
  ></select>

JavaScript

$http.get(strUrl2).success(function (response) {
  if (response.length > 0) {
    $scope.geoPaises = response; //Data source
    nIndex = indexOfUnsortedArray(response, 'iPais', default_values.iPais); //array index of default value, using a custom function to search
    if (nIndex >= 0) {
      $scope.cboPais = response[nIndex]; //if index of array was found
    } else {
      $scope.cboPais = response[0]; //select the first element of array
    }
    $scope.geo_getDepartamentos();
  }
}

How to create id with AUTO_INCREMENT on Oracle?

Assuming you mean a column like the SQL Server identity column?

In Oracle, you use a SEQUENCE to achieve the same functionality. I'll see if I can find a good link and post it here.

Update: looks like you found it yourself. Here is the link anyway: http://www.techonthenet.com/oracle/sequences.php

How to subscribe to an event on a service in Angular2?

Using alpha 28, I accomplished programmatically subscribing to event emitters by way of the eventEmitter.toRx().subscribe(..) method. As it is not intuitive, it may perhaps change in a future release.

Can I add extension methods to an existing static class?

I stumbled upon this thread while trying to find an answer to the same question the OP had. I didn't find the answer I wanted, but I ended up doing this.

public static class MyConsole
{
    public static void WriteLine(this ConsoleColor Color, string Text)
    {
        Console.ForegroundColor = Color;
        Console.WriteLine(Text);   
    }
}

And I use it like this:

ConsoleColor.Cyan.WriteLine("voilà");

How to write a foreach in SQL Server?

I came up with a very effective, (I think) readable way to do this.

    1. create a temp table and put the records you want to iterate in there
    2. use WHILE @@ROWCOUNT <> 0 to do the iterating
    3. to get one row at a time do, SELECT TOP 1 <fieldnames>
        b. save the unique ID for that row in a variable
    4. Do Stuff, then delete the row from the temp table based on the ID saved at step 3b.

Here's the code. Sorry, its using my variable names instead of the ones in the question.

            declare @tempPFRunStops TABLE (ProformaRunStopsID int,ProformaRunMasterID int, CompanyLocationID int, StopSequence int );    

        INSERT @tempPFRunStops (ProformaRunStopsID,ProformaRunMasterID, CompanyLocationID, StopSequence) 
        SELECT ProformaRunStopsID, ProformaRunMasterID, CompanyLocationID, StopSequence from ProformaRunStops 
        WHERE ProformaRunMasterID IN ( SELECT ProformaRunMasterID FROM ProformaRunMaster WHERE ProformaId = 15 )

    -- SELECT * FROM @tempPFRunStops

    WHILE @@ROWCOUNT <> 0  -- << I dont know how this works
        BEGIN
            SELECT TOP 1 * FROM @tempPFRunStops
            -- I could have put the unique ID into a variable here
            SELECT 'Ha'  -- Do Stuff
            DELETE @tempPFRunStops WHERE ProformaRunStopsID = (SELECT TOP 1 ProformaRunStopsID FROM @tempPFRunStops)
        END

Include another JSP file

You can use parameters like that

<jsp:include page='about.jsp'>
    <jsp:param name="articleId" value=""/>
</jsp:include>

and

in about.jsp you can take the paramter

<%String leftAds = request.getParameter("articleId");%>

How do I style radio buttons with images - laughing smiley for good, sad smiley for bad?

You cannot style things like radio buttons, checkboxes, scrollsbars (etc.) at all. These are native to the OS and the browser and not something you can manipulate.

You can simulate this, however by hiding the radio buttons and only showing an image instead as in.

<input type="radio" style="display: none;" id="sad" /><label for="sad"><img class="sad_image" /></label>

Jquery get form field value

You can get any input field value by $('input[fieldAttribute=value]').val()

here is an example

_x000D_
_x000D_
displayValue = () => {_x000D_
_x000D_
  // you can get the value by name attribute like this_x000D_
  _x000D_
  console.log('value of firstname : ' + $('input[name=firstName]').val());_x000D_
  _x000D_
  // if there is the id as lastname_x000D_
  _x000D_
  console.log('value of lastname by id : ' + $('#lastName').val());_x000D_
  _x000D_
  // get value of carType from placeholder  _x000D_
  console.log('value of carType from placeholder ' + $('input[placeholder=carType]').val());_x000D_
_x000D_
}
_x000D_
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>_x000D_

Linux Process States

Generally the process will block. If the read operation is on a file descriptor marked as non-blocking or if the process is using asynchronous IO it won't block. Also if the process has other threads that aren't blocked they can continue running.

The decision as to which process runs next is up to the scheduler in the kernel.

Why is my Git Submodule HEAD detached from master?

The simplest solution is:

git clone --recursive [email protected]:name/repo.git

Then cd in the repo directory and:

git submodule update --init
git submodule foreach -q --recursive 'git checkout $(git config -f $toplevel/.gitmodules submodule.$name.branch || echo master)'
git config --global status.submoduleSummary true

How to change XAMPP apache server port?

To answer the original question:

To change the XAMPP Apache server port here the procedure :

1. Choose a free port number

The default port used by Apache is 80.

Take a look to all your used ports with Netstat (integrated to XAMPP Control Panel).

Screenshot of xampp control netstat

Then you can see all used ports and here we see that the 80port is already used by System.

screenshot netstat port 80

Choose a free port number (8012, for this exemple).

2. Edit the file "httpd.conf"

This file should be found in C:\xampp\apache\conf on Windows or in bin/apache for Linux.:

Listen 80
ServerName localhost:80

Replace them by:

Listen 8012
ServerName localhost:8012

Save the file.

Access to : http://localhost:8012 for check if it's work.

If not, you must to edit the http-ssl.conf file as explain in step 3 below. ?

3. Edit the file "http-ssl.conf"

This file should be found in C:\xampp\apache\conf\extra on Windows or see this link for Linux.

Locate the following lines:

Listen 443
<VirtualHost _default_:443>
ServerName localhost:443

Replace them by with a other port number (8013 for this example) :

Listen 8013
<VirtualHost _default_:8013>
ServerName localhost:8013

Save the file.

Restart the Apache Server.

Access to : http://localhost:8012 for check if it's work.

4. Configure XAMPP Apache server settings

If your want to access localhost without specify the port number in the URL
http://localhost instead of http://localhost:8012.

  • Open Xampp Control Panel
  • Go to Config ? Service and Port Settings ? Apache
  • Replace the Main Port and SSL Port values ??with those chosen (e.g. 8012 and 8013).
  • Save Service settings
  • Save Configuration of Control Panel
  • Restart the Apache Server xampp apache setting port It should work now.

4.1. Web browser configuration

If this configuration isn't hiding port number in URL it's because your web browser is not configured for. See : Tools ? Options ? General ? Connection Settings... will allow you to choose different ports or change proxy settings.

4.2. For the rare cases of ultimate bad luck

If step 4 and Web browser configuration are not working for you the only way to do this is to change back to 80, or to install a listener on port 80 (like a proxy) that redirects all your traffic to port 8012.

To answer your problem :

If you still have this message in Control Panel Console :

Apache Started [Port 80]

  • Find location of xampp-control.exe file (probably in C:\xampp)
  • Create a file XAMPP.INI in that directory (so XAMPP.ini and xampp-control.exe are in the same directory)

Put following lines in the XAMPP.INI file:

[PORTS]
apache = 8012

Now , you will always get:

Apache started [Port 8012]

Please note that, this is for display purpose only. It has no relation with your httpd.conf.

What is difference between png8 and png24

Basic difference : a 8-bit PNG comprises a max. of 256 colors. PNG-24 is a loss-less format and can contain up to 16 million colors.

Impacts:

  1. If you are using any round corner image then edges might visible in png8 format.
  2. ie6 doesnt support png24 format.

When to use async false and async true in ajax function in jquery

It's not relative to performance...

You set async to false, when you need that ajax request to be completed before the browser passes to other codes:

<script>
    // ...
    $.ajax(... async: false ...); // Hey browser! first complete this request, 
                                  // then go for other codes

    $.ajax(...); // Executed after the completion of the previous async:false request.
</script>

How to set a JVM TimeZone Properly

ASP.NET MVC: Custom Validation by DataAnnotation

Background:

Model validations are required for ensuring that the received data we receive is valid and correct so that we can do the further processing with this data. We can validate a model in an action method. The built-in validation attributes are Compare, Range, RegularExpression, Required, StringLength. However we may have scenarios wherein we required validation attributes other than the built-in ones.

Custom Validation Attributes

public class EmployeeModel 
{
    [Required]
    [UniqueEmailAddress]
    public string EmailAddress {get;set;}
    public string FirstName {get;set;}
    public string LastName {get;set;}
    public int OrganizationId {get;set;}
}

To create a custom validation attribute, you will have to derive this class from ValidationAttribute.

public class UniqueEmailAddress : ValidationAttribute
{
    private IEmployeeRepository _employeeRepository;
    [Inject]
    public IEmployeeRepository EmployeeRepository
    {
        get { return _employeeRepository; }
        set
        {
            _employeeRepository = value;
        }
    }
    protected override ValidationResult IsValid(object value,
                        ValidationContext validationContext)
    {
        var model = (EmployeeModel)validationContext.ObjectInstance;
        if(model.Field1 == null){
            return new ValidationResult("Field1 is null");
        }
        if(model.Field2 == null){
            return new ValidationResult("Field2 is null");
        }
        if(model.Field3 == null){
            return new ValidationResult("Field3 is null");
        }
        return ValidationResult.Success;
    }
}

Hope this helps. Cheers !

Getting XML Node text value with Java DOM

If your XML goes quite deep, you might want to consider using XPath, which comes with your JRE, so you can access the contents far more easily using:

String text = xp.evaluate("//add[@job='351']/tag[position()=1]/text()", 
    document.getDocumentElement());

Full example:

import static org.junit.Assert.assertEquals;
import java.io.StringReader;    
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder;
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory;
import javax.xml.xpath.XPath;
import javax.xml.xpath.XPathFactory;    
import org.junit.Before;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.w3c.dom.Document;
import org.xml.sax.InputSource;

public class XPathTest {

    private Document document;

    @Before
    public void setup() throws Exception {
        String xml = "<add job=\"351\"><tag>foobar</tag><tag>foobar2</tag></add>";
        DocumentBuilderFactory dbf = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
        DocumentBuilder db = dbf.newDocumentBuilder();
        document = db.parse(new InputSource(new StringReader(xml)));
    }

    @Test
    public void testXPath() throws Exception {
        XPathFactory xpf = XPathFactory.newInstance();
        XPath xp = xpf.newXPath();
        String text = xp.evaluate("//add[@job='351']/tag[position()=1]/text()",
                document.getDocumentElement());
        assertEquals("foobar", text);
    }
}

POST Content-Length exceeds the limit

I suggest that you should change to post_max_size from 8M to 32M in the php.ini file.

Loading and parsing a JSON file with multiple JSON objects

That is ill-formatted. You have one JSON object per line, but they are not contained in a larger data structure (ie an array). You'll either need to reformat it so that it begins with [ and ends with ] with a comma at the end of each line, or parse it line by line as separate dictionaries.

Five equal columns in twitter bootstrap

            width: percentage(($index / $num-columns));
        }
    }
    @if ($type == push) and ($index > 0) {
        .col-#{$class}-push-#{$index}-#{$num-columns} {
            left: percentage(($index / $num-columns));
        }
    }
    @if ($type == pull) and ($index > 0) {

        }
    }
}

@mixin loop-extended-grid-columns($num-columns, $class, $type) {
    @for $i from 1 through $num-columns - 1 {

    @include loop-extended-grid-columns($num-columns, $class, push);
    @include loop-extended-grid-columns($num-columns, $class, offset);
}

And you can simply create classes by:

@each $num-columns in $possible-number-extended-grid-columns {

How can I convert an RGB image into grayscale in Python?

Using this formula

Y' = 0.299 R + 0.587 G + 0.114 B 

We can do

import imageio
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

pic = imageio.imread('(image)')
gray = lambda rgb : np.dot(rgb[... , :3] , [0.299 , 0.587, 0.114]) 
gray = gray(pic)  
plt.imshow(gray, cmap = plt.get_cmap(name = 'gray'))

However, the GIMP converting color to grayscale image software has three algorithms to do the task.

C dynamically growing array

To create an array of unlimited items of any sort of type:

typedef struct STRUCT_SS_VECTOR {
    size_t size;
    void** items;
} ss_vector;


ss_vector* ss_init_vector(size_t item_size) {
    ss_vector* vector;
    vector = malloc(sizeof(ss_vector));
    vector->size = 0;
    vector->items = calloc(0, item_size);

    return vector;
}

void ss_vector_append(ss_vector* vec, void* item) {
    vec->size++;
    vec->items = realloc(vec->items, vec->size * sizeof(item));
    vec->items[vec->size - 1] = item;
};

void ss_vector_free(ss_vector* vec) {
    for (int i = 0; i < vec->size; i++)
        free(vec->items[i]);

    free(vec->items);
    free(vec);
}

and how to use it:

// defining some sort of struct, can be anything really
typedef struct APPLE_STRUCT {
    int id;
} apple;

apple* init_apple(int id) {
    apple* a;
    a = malloc(sizeof(apple));
    a-> id = id;
    return a;
};


int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
    ss_vector* vector = ss_init_vector(sizeof(apple));

    // inserting some items
    for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
        ss_vector_append(vector, init_apple(i));


    // dont forget to free it
    ss_vector_free(vector);

    return 0;
}

This vector/array can hold any type of item and it is completely dynamic in size.

How to force 'cp' to overwrite directory instead of creating another one inside?

The operation you defined is a "merge" and you cannot do that with cp. However, if you are not looking for merging and ok to lose the folder bar then you can simply rm -rf bar to delete the folder and then mv foo bar to rename it. This will not take any time as both operations are done by file pointers, not file contents.

What is "not assignable to parameter of type never" error in typescript?

One more reason for the error.

if you are exporting after wrapping component with connect()() then props may give typescript error
Solution: I didn't explore much as I had the option of replacing connect function with useSelector hook
for example

/* Comp.tsx */
interface IComp {
 a: number
}

const Comp = ({a}:IComp) => <div>{a}</div>

/* ** 

below line is culprit, you are exporting default the return 
value of Connect and there is no types added to that return
value of that connect()(Comp) 

** */

export default connect()(Comp)


--
/* App.tsx */
const App = () => {
/**  below line gives same error 
[ts] Argument of type 'number' is not assignable to 
parameter of type 'never' */
 return <Comp a={3} />
}

what is Segmentation fault (core dumped)?

"Segmentation fault" means that you tried to access memory that you do not have access to.

The first problem is with your arguments of main. The main function should be int main(int argc, char *argv[]), and you should check that argc is at least 2 before accessing argv[1].

Also, since you're passing in a float to printf (which, by the way, gets converted to a double when passing to printf), you should use the %f format specifier. The %s format specifier is for strings ('\0'-terminated character arrays).

How to import existing Android project into Eclipse?

I found James Wald's answer the closest to my solution, except instead of "File->Import->General->Existing Projects into Workspace" (which did not work for me at all) I used "File->Import->Android->Existing Android Code Into Workspace". I am using Helios, maybe your version of Eclipse does not have this quirk.

How do I paste multi-line bash codes into terminal and run it all at once?

To prevent a long line of commands in a text file, I keep my copy-pase snippets like this:

use std::fill to populate vector with increasing numbers

If you'd rather not use C++11 features, you can use std::generate:

#include <algorithm>
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>

struct Generator {
    Generator() : m_value( 0 ) { }
    int operator()() { return m_value++; }
    int m_value;
};

int main()
{
    std::vector<int> ivec( 10 );

    std::generate( ivec.begin(), ivec.end(), Generator() );

    std::vector<int>::const_iterator it, end = ivec.end();
    for ( it = ivec.begin(); it != end; ++it ) {
        std::cout << *it << std::endl;
    }
}

This program prints 0 to 9.

How do you round a floating point number in Perl?

If you decide to use printf or sprintf, note that they use the Round half to even method.

foreach my $i ( 0.5, 1.5, 2.5, 3.5 ) {

}
__END__
0.5 -> 0
1.5 -> 2
2.5 -> 2
3.5 -> 4

Shortcut to create properties in Visual Studio?

Using VsVim the code snippets seem to work a little funny. The shortcut I was looking for when I ended up here is much simpler: after a member name type {g;s;

I have delimiter auto-closing turned on, so the closing brace appears on {, and typing a semicolon triggers an autocomplete for get and set.

It works on VS2013 and VS2015, and VS2012 just lacks the automatic brace matching.

Java Program to test if a character is uppercase/lowercase/number/vowel

You appear to have upper and lowercase back to front. A-Z would be upper, a-z would be lower. While not exactly efficient - with the inverted case exception, I think it should output correctly.

Using quotation marks inside quotation marks

One case which is prevalent in duplicates is the requirement to use quotes for external processes. A workaround for that is to not use a shell, which removes the requirement for one level of quoting.

os.system("""awk '/foo/ { print "bar" }' %""" % filename)

can usefully be replaced with

subprocess.call(['awk', '/foo/ { print "bar" }', filename])

(which also fixes the bug that shell metacharacters in filename would need to be escaped from the shell, which the original code failed to do; but without a shell, no need for that).

Of course, in the vast majority of cases, you don't want or need an external process at all.

with open(filename) as fh:
    for line in fh:
        if 'foo' in line:
            print("bar")

How do I scroll the UIScrollView when the keyboard appears?

One of the easiest solutions is using the following protocol:

protocol ScrollViewKeyboardDelegate: class {
    var scrollView: UIScrollView? { get set }

    func registerKeyboardNotifications()
    func unregisterKeyboardNotifications()
}

extension ScrollViewKeyboardDelegate where Self: UIViewController {
    func registerKeyboardNotifications() {
        NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(
            forName: UIResponder.keyboardWillChangeFrameNotification,
            object: nil,
            queue: nil) { [weak self] notification in
                self?.keyboardWillBeShown(notification)
        }

        NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(
            forName: UIResponder.keyboardWillHideNotification,
            object: nil,
            queue: nil) { [weak self] notification in
                self?.keyboardWillBeHidden(notification)
        }
    }

    func unregisterKeyboardNotifications() {
        NotificationCenter.default.removeObserver(
            self,
            name: UIResponder.keyboardWillChangeFrameNotification,
            object: nil
        )
        NotificationCenter.default.removeObserver(
            self,
            name: UIResponder.keyboardWillHideNotification,
            object: nil
        )
    }

    func keyboardWillBeShown(_ notification: Notification) {
        let info = notification.userInfo
        let key = (info?[UIResponder.keyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey] as? NSValue)
        let aKeyboardSize = key?.cgRectValue

        guard let keyboardSize = aKeyboardSize,
            let scrollView = self.scrollView else {
                return
        }

        let bottomInset = keyboardSize.height
        scrollView.contentInset.bottom = bottomInset
        scrollView.scrollIndicatorInsets.bottom = bottomInset
        if let activeField = self.view.firstResponder {
            let yPosition = activeField.frame.origin.y - bottomInset
            if yPosition > 0 {
                let scrollPoint = CGPoint(x: 0, y: yPosition)
                scrollView.setContentOffset(scrollPoint, animated: true)
            }
        }
    }

    func keyboardWillBeHidden(_ notification: Notification) {
        self.scrollView?.contentInset = .zero
        self.scrollView?.scrollIndicatorInsets = .zero
    }
}

extension UIView {
    var firstResponder: UIView? {
        guard !isFirstResponder else { return self }
        return subviews.first(where: {$0.firstResponder != nil })
    }
}

When you want to use this protocol, you only need to conform to it and assign your scroll view in your controller as follows:

class MyViewController: UIViewController {
      @IBOutlet var scrollViewOutlet: UIScrollView?
      var scrollView: UIScrollView?

      public override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        self.scrollView = self.scrollViewOutlet
        self.scrollView?.isScrollEnabled = true
        self.registerKeyboardNotifications()
    }

    extension MyViewController: ScrollViewKeyboardDelegate {}

    deinit {
       self.unregisterKeyboardNotifications()
    }

}

Concat strings by & and + in VB.Net

My 2 cents:

If you are concatenating a significant amount of strings, you should be using the StringBuilder instead. IMO it's cleaner, and significantly faster.

How do you format the day of the month to say "11th", "21st" or "23rd" (ordinal indicator)?

Try below function:

public static String getFormattedDate(Date date) 
{
  Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
  cal.setTime(date);
  //2nd of march 2015
  int day = cal.get(Calendar.DATE);
  if (!((day > 10) && (day < 19)))
   switch (day % 10) {
    case 1:
     return new SimpleDateFormat("d'st' 'of' MMMM yyyy").format(date);
    case 2:
     return new SimpleDateFormat("d'nd' 'of' MMMM yyyy").format(date);
    case 3:
     return new SimpleDateFormat("d'rd' 'of' MMMM yyyy").format(date);
    default:
     return new SimpleDateFormat("d'th' 'of' MMMM yyyy").format(date);
   }
  return new SimpleDateFormat("d'th' 'of' MMMM yyyy").format(date);
}

Loading inline content using FancyBox

The way I figured this out was going through the example index.html/style.css that comes packaged with the Fancybox installation.

If you view the code that is used for the demo website and basically copy/paste, you'll be fine.

To get an inline Fancybox working, you will need to have this code present in your index.html file:

  <head>
    <link href="./fancybox/jquery.fancybox-1.3.4.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" />
    <script>!window.jQuery && document.write('<script src="jquery-1.4.3.min.js"><\/script>');</script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="./fancybox/jquery.fancybox-1.3.4.pack.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function() {

    $("#various1").fancybox({
            'titlePosition'     : 'inside',
            'transitionIn'      : 'none',
            'transitionOut'     : 'none'
        });
    });
    </script>
  </head>

 <body>

    <a id="various1" href="#inline1" title="Put a title here">Name of Link Here</a>
    <div style="display: none;">
        <div id="inline1" style="width:400px;height:100px;overflow:auto;">
                   Write whatever text you want right here!!
        </div>
    </div> 

</body>

Remember to be precise about what folders your script files are placed in and where you are pointing to in the Head tag; they must correspond.

Adding header to all request with Retrofit 2

If you use addInterceptor method for add HttpLoggingInterceptor, it won't be logging the things that added by other interceptors applied later than HttpLoggingInterceptor.

For example: If you have two interceptors "HttpLoggingInterceptor" and "AuthInterceptor", and HttpLoggingInterceptor applied first, then you can't view the http-params or headers which set by AuthInterceptor.

OkHttpClient.Builder builder = new OkHttpClient.Builder()
.addNetworkInterceptor(logging)
.addInterceptor(new AuthInterceptor());

I solved it, via using addNetworkInterceptor method.

Passing capturing lambda as function pointer

A shortcut for using a lambda with as a C function pointer is this:

"auto fun = +[](){}"

Using Curl as exmample (curl debug info)

auto callback = +[](CURL* handle, curl_infotype type, char* data, size_t size, void*){ //add code here :-) };
curl_easy_setopt(curlHande, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1L);
curl_easy_setopt(curlHande,CURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION,callback);

How to check the differences between local and github before the pull

And another useful command to do this (after git fetch) is:

git log origin/master ^master

This shows the commits that are in origin/master but not in master. You can also do it in opposite when doing git pull, to check what commits will be submitted to remote.

How to check programmatically if an application is installed or not in Android?

You can do it using Kotlin extensions :

fun Context.getInstalledPackages(): List<String> {
    val packagesList = mutableListOf<String>()
    packageManager.getInstalledPackages(0).forEach {
        if ( it.applicationInfo.sourceDir.startsWith("/data/app/") && it.versionName != null)
            packagesList.add(it.packageName)
    }
    return packagesList
}

fun Context.isInDevice(packageName: String): Boolean {
    return getInstalledPackages().contains(packageName)
}

jQuery’s .bind() vs. .on()

If you look in the source code for $.fn.bind you will find that it's just an rewrite function for on:

    return this.on(types, null, data, fn);
}

Disabling the button after once click

$("selectorbyclassorbyIDorbyName").click(function () {
  $("selectorbyclassorbyIDorbyName").attr("disabled", true).delay(2000).attr("disabled", false);
});

select the button and by its id or text or class ... it just disables after 1st click and enables after 20 Milli sec

Works very well for post backs n place it in Master page, applies to all buttons without calling implicitly like onclientClick

Why not inherit from List<T>?

This reminds me of the "Is a" versus "has a" tradeoff. Sometimes it is easier and makesmore sense to inherit directly from a super class. Other times it makes more sense to create a standalone class and include the class you would have inherited from as a member variable. You can still access the functionality of the class but are not bound to the interface or any other constraints that might come from inheriting from the class.

Which do you do? As with a lot of things...it depends on the context. The guide I would use is that in order to inherit from another class there truly should be an "is a" relationship. So if you a writing a class called BMW, it could inherit from Car because a BMW truly is a car. A Horse class can inherit from the Mammal class because a horse actually is a mammal in real life and any Mammal functionality should be relevant to Horse. But can you say that a team is a list? From what I can tell, it does not seem like a Team really "is a" List. So in this case, I would have a List as a member variable.

How do I mount a remote Linux folder in Windows through SSH?

You need to mount a remote share on your windows machine. This is what Samba/smb is for.

What you'll be doing is turning your Linux box into an SMB server, which lets it share files in a way that plays nice with Windows.

If you're not on the same network, you'll need to tunnel this through your SSH connection which may not be worth the effort.

Getting one value from a tuple

For anyone in the future looking for an answer, I would like to give a much clearer answer to the question.

# for making a tuple
my_tuple = (89, 32)
my_tuple_with_more_values = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)

# to concatenate tuples
another_tuple = my_tuple + my_tuple_with_more_values
print(another_tuple)
# (89, 32, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)

# getting a value from a tuple is similar to a list
first_val = my_tuple[0]
second_val = my_tuple[1]

# if you have a function called my_tuple_fun that returns a tuple,
# you might want to do this
my_tuple_fun()[0]
my_tuple_fun()[1]

# or this
v1, v2 = my_tuple_fun()

Hope this clears things up further for those that need it.

Paste in insert mode?

No not directly. What you can do though is quickly exit insert mode for a single normal mode operation with Ctrl-O and then paste from there which will end by putting you back in insert mode.

Key Combo: Ctrl-O p

EDIT: Interesting. It does appear that there is a way as several other people have listed.

How to search images from private 1.0 registry in docker?

As of v 0.7.0 of the private registry you can do:

$ curl -X GET http://localhost:5000/v1/search?q=postgresql

and you will get a json payload:

{"num_results": 1, "query": "postgresql", "results": [{"description": "", "name": "library/postgresql"}]}

to give more background here is how I started my registry:

docker run \
        -e SETTINGS_FLAVOR=local \
        -e STORAGE_PATH=/registry \
        -e SEARCH_BACKEND=sqlalchemy \
        -e LOGLEVEL=DEBUG \

Bubble Sort Homework

Answers provided by the-fury and Martin Cote fixed the problem of the infinite loop, but my code would still not work correctly (for a larger list, it would not sort correctly.). I ended up ditching the unsorted variable and used a counter instead.

def bubble(badList):
    length = len(badList) - 1
    n = 0
    while n < len(badList):
        for element in range(0,length):
            if badList[element] > badList[element + 1]:
                hold = badList[element + 1]
                badList[element + 1] = badList[element]
                badList[element] = hold
                n = 0
            else:
                n += 1
    return badList

if __name__ == '__main__':
    mylist = [90, 10, 2, 76, 17, 66, 57, 23, 57, 99]
    print bubble(mylist)

If anyone could provide any pointers on how to improve my code in the comments, it would be much appreciated.

Layout Editor

SSIS cannot convert because a potential loss of data

When you first set up this package, I am guessing that either a one or two digit number was the first value in the ShipTo column. Your package reading from the Excel picked a numeric type for that input field and the word "ALL" fails the package since the input spec for that field is numeric. There are several ways to fix this beforehand, but to fix it after the fact, the easiest way is to right click the Excel Source and choose Show Advanced Editor... From there, choose the tab that says Input and Output Properties. In the topmost part of the inputs and outputs section of that dialog box, find the column ShipTo. You will have to drill down to find it. Set the DataType to "string [DT_STR]" and the length to 20.

Click OK then attempt to run your package again.

Static Initialization Blocks

I would say static block is just syntactic sugar. There is nothing you could do with static block and not with anything else.

To re-use some examples posted here.

This piece of code could be re-written without using static initialiser.

Method #1: With static

private static final HashMap<String, String> MAP;
static {
    MAP.put("banana", "honey");
    MAP.put("peanut butter", "jelly");
    MAP.put("rice", "beans");
  }

Method #2: Without static

private static final HashMap<String, String> MAP = getMap();
private static HashMap<String, String> getMap()
{
    HashMap<String, String> ret = new HashMap<>();
    ret.put("banana", "honey");
    ret.put("peanut butter", "jelly");
    ret.put("rice", "beans");
    return ret;
}

Sorting object property by values

Thank you and continue answer @Nosredna

Now that we understand object need to be converted to array then sort the array. this is useful for sorting array (or converted object to array) by string:

Object {6: Object, 7: Object, 8: Object, 9: Object, 10: Object, 11: Object, 12: Object}
   6: Object
   id: "6"
   name: "PhD"
   obe_service_type_id: "2"
   __proto__: Object
   7: Object
   id: "7"
   name: "BVC (BPTC)"
   obe_service_type_id: "2"
   __proto__: Object


    //Sort options
    var sortable = [];
    for (var vehicle in options)
    sortable.push([vehicle, options[vehicle]]);
    sortable.sort(function(a, b) {
        return a[1].name < b[1].name ? -1 : 1;
    });


    //sortable => prints  
[Array[2], Array[2], Array[2], Array[2], Array[2], Array[2], Array[2]]
    0: Array[2]
    0: "11"
    1: Object
        id: "11"
        name: "AS/A2"
        obe_service_type_id: "2"
        __proto__: Object
        length: 2
        __proto__: Array[0]
    1: Array[2]
    0: "7"
    1: Object
        id: "7"
        name: "BVC (BPTC)"
        obe_service_type_id: "2"
        __proto__: Object
        length: 2

symfony2 : failed to write cache directory

Most likely it means that the directory and/or sub-directories are not writable. Many forget about sub-directories.

Symfony 2

chmod -R 777 app/cache app/logs

Symfony 3 directory structure

chmod -R 777 var/cache var/logs

Additional Resources

Permissions solution by Symfony (mentioned previously).

Permissions solution by KPN University - additionally includes an screen-cast on installation.

Note: If you're using Symfony 3 directory structure, substitute app/cache and app/logs with var/cache and var/logs.

how to force maven to update local repo

Even though this is an old question, I 've stumbled upon this issue multiple times and until now never figured out how to fix it. The update maven indices is a term coined by IntelliJ, and if it still doesn't work after you've compiled the first project, chances are that you are using 2 different maven installations.

Press CTRL+Shift+A to open up the Actions menu. Type Maven and go to Maven Settings. Check the Home Directory to use the same maven as you use via the command line

Is there more to an interface than having the correct methods

you could do

Ibox myBox = new Rectangle();

that way you are using this object as Ibox and you don't care that its really Rectangle .

How do I change the background of a Frame in Tkinter?

The root of the problem is that you are unknowingly using the Frame class from the ttk package rather than from the tkinter package. The one from ttk does not support the background option.

This is the main reason why you shouldn't do global imports -- you can overwrite the definition of classes and commands.

I recommend doing imports like this:

import tkinter as tk
import ttk

Then you prefix the widgets with either tk or ttk :

f1 = tk.Frame(..., bg=..., fg=...)
f2 = ttk.Frame(..., style=...)

It then becomes instantly obvious which widget you are using, at the expense of just a tiny bit more typing. If you had done this, this error in your code would never have happened.

Create a remote branch on GitHub

Before creating a new branch always the best practice is to have the latest of repo in your local machine. Follow these steps for error free branch creation.

 1. $ git branch (check which branches exist and which one is currently active (prefixed with *). This helps you avoid creating duplicate/confusing branch name)
 2. $ git branch <new_branch> (creates new branch)
 3. $ git checkout new_branch
 4. $ git add . (After making changes in the current branch)
 5. $ git commit -m "type commit msg here"
 6. $ git checkout master (switch to master branch so that merging with new_branch can be done)
 7. $ git merge new_branch (starts merging)
 8. $ git push origin master (push to the remote server)

I referred this blog and I found it to be a cleaner approach.

Write bytes to file

This example reads 6 bytes into a byte array and writes it to another byte array. It does an XOR operation with the bytes so that the result written to the file is the same as the original starting values. The file is always 6 bytes in size, since it writes at position 0.

using System;
using System.IO;

namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main()
        {
        byte[] b1 = { 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 };
        byte[] b2 = new byte[6];
        byte[] b3 = new byte[6];
        byte[] b4 = new byte[6];

        FileStream f1;
        f1 = new FileStream("test.txt", FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write);

        // write the byte array into a new file
        f1.Write(b1, 0, 6);
        f1.Close();

        // read the byte array
        f1 = new FileStream("test.txt", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);

        f1.Read(b2, 0, 6);
        f1.Close();

        // make changes to the byte array
        for (int i = 1; i < b2.Length; i++)
        {
            b2[i] = (byte)(b2[i] ^ (byte)10); //xor 10
        }

        f1 = new FileStream("test.txt", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Write);
        // write the new byte array into the file
        f1.Write(b2, 0, 6);
        f1.Close();

        f1 = new FileStream("test.txt", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);

        // read the byte array
        f1.Read(b3, 0, 6);
        f1.Close();

        // make changes to the byte array
        for (int i = 1; i < b3.Length; i++)
        {
            b4[i] = (byte)(b3[i] ^ (byte)10); //xor 10
        }

        f1 = new FileStream("test.txt", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Write);

        // b4 will have the same values as b1
        f1.Write(b4, 0, 6);
        f1.Close();
        }
    }
}

How to count the number of words in a sentence, ignoring numbers, punctuation and whitespace?

This is a simple word counter using regex. The script includes a loop which you can terminate it when you're done.

#word counter using regex
import re
while True:
    string =raw_input("Enter the string: ")
    count = len(re.findall("[a-zA-Z_]+", string))
    if line == "Done": #command to terminate the loop
        break
    print (count)
print ("Terminated")

What is the best way to uninstall gems from a rails3 project?

With newer versions of bundler you can use the clean task:

$ bundle help clean
Usage:
    bundle clean

Options:
    [--dry-run=only print out changes, do not actually clean gems]
    [--force=forces clean even if --path is not set]
    [--no-color=Disable colorization in output]
    -V, [--verbose=Enable verbose output mode]

Cleans up unused gems in your bundler directory
$ bundle clean --dry-run --force
Would have removed actionmailer (3.1.12)
Would have removed actionmailer (3.2.0.rc2)
Would have removed actionpack (3.1.12)
Would have removed actionpack (3.2.0.rc2)
Would have removed activemodel (3.1.12)
...

edit:

This is not recommended if you're using a global gemset (i.e. - all of your projects keep their gems in the same place). There're few ways to keep each project's gems separate, though:

  1. rvm gemsets (http://rvm.io/gemsets/basics)
  2. bundle install with any of the following options: --deployment or --path=<path> (http://bundler.io/v1.3/man/bundle-install.1.html)

What is the difference between BIT and TINYINT in MySQL?

From Overview of Numeric Types;

BIT[(M)]

A bit-field type. M indicates the number of bits per value, from 1 to 64. The default is 1 if M is omitted.

This data type was added in MySQL 5.0.3 for MyISAM, and extended in 5.0.5 to MEMORY, InnoDB, BDB, and NDBCLUSTER. Before 5.0.3, BIT is a synonym for TINYINT(1).

TINYINT[(M)] [UNSIGNED] [ZEROFILL]

A very small integer. The signed range is -128 to 127. The unsigned range is 0 to 255.

Additionally consider this;

BOOL, BOOLEAN

These types are synonyms for TINYINT(1). A value of zero is considered false. Non-zero values are considered true.

Java reading a file into an ArrayList?

To share some analysis info. With a simple test how long it takes to read ~1180 lines of values.

If you need to read the data very fast, use the good old BufferedReader FileReader example. It took me ~8ms

The Scanner is much slower. Took me ~138ms

The nice Java 8 Files.lines(...) is the slowest version. Took me ~388ms.

What happened to the .pull-left and .pull-right classes in Bootstrap 4?

If you want to use those with columns in another work with col-* classes, you can use order-* classes.

You can control the order of your columns with order classes. see more in Bootstrap 4 documentation

A simple from bootstrap docs:

<div class="container">
  <div class="row">
    <div class="col">
      First, but unordered
    </div>
    <div class="col order-12">
      Second, but last
    </div>
    <div class="col order-1">
      Third, but first
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

Is there a vr (vertical rule) in html?

In the context of a list item being used as navigation a <vr /> tag would be perfectly useful. The reason it does not exist is because "It does not make logical sense to have one" in the context of HTML a decade ago.

How to find event listeners on a DOM node when debugging or from the JavaScript code?

I was recently working with events and wanted to view/control all events in a page. Having looked at possible solutions, I've decided to go my own way and create a custom system to monitor events. So, I did three things.

First, I needed a container for all the event listeners in the page: that's theEventListeners object. It has three useful methods: add(), remove(), and get().

Next, I created an EventListener object to hold the necessary information for the event, i.e.: target, type, callback, options, useCapture, wantsUntrusted, and added a method remove() to remove the listener.

Lastly, I extended the native addEventListener() and removeEventListener() methods to make them work with the objects I've created (EventListener and EventListeners).

Usage:

var bodyClickEvent = document.body.addEventListener("click", function () {
    console.log("body click");
});

// bodyClickEvent.remove();

addEventListener() creates an EventListener object, adds it to EventListeners and returns the EventListener object, so it can be removed later.

EventListeners.get() can be used to view the listeners in the page. It accepts an EventTarget or a string (event type).

// EventListeners.get(document.body);
// EventListeners.get("click");

Demo

Let's say we want to know every event listener in this current page. We can do that (assuming you're using a script manager extension, Tampermonkey in this case). Following script does this:

// ==UserScript==
// @name         New Userscript
// @namespace    http://tampermonkey.net/
// @version      0.1
// @description  try to take over the world!
// @author       You
// @include      https://stackoverflow.com/*
// @grant        none
// ==/UserScript==

(function() {
    fetch("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/akinuri/js-lib/master/EventListener.js")
        .then(function (response) {
            return response.text();
        })
        .then(function (text) {
            eval(text);
            window.EventListeners = EventListeners;
        });
})(window);

And when we list all the listeners, it says there are 299 event listeners. There "seems" to be some duplicates, but I don't know if they're really duplicates. Not every event type is duplicated, so all those "duplicates" might be an individual listener.

screenshot of console listing all event listeners in this page

Code can be found at my repository. I didn't want to post it here because it's rather long.


Update: This doesn't seem to work with jQuery. When I examine the EventListener, I see that the callback is

function(b){return"undefined"!=typeof r&&r.event.triggered!==b.type?r.event.dispatch.apply(a,arguments):void 0}

I believe this belongs to jQuery, and is not the actual callback. jQuery stores the actual callback in the properties of the EventTarget:

$(document.body).click(function () {
    console.log("jquery click");
});

enter image description here

To remove an event listener, the actual callback needs to be passed to the removeEventListener() method. So in order to make this work with jQuery, it needs further modification. I might fix that in the future.

What is the difference between declarations, providers, and import in NgModule?

Adding a quick cheat sheet that may help after the long break with Angular:


DECLARATIONS

Example:

declarations: [AppComponent]

What can we inject here? Components, pipes, directives


IMPORTS

Example:

imports: [BrowserModule, AppRoutingModule]

What can we inject here? other modules


PROVIDERS

Example:

providers: [UserService]

What can we inject here? services


BOOTSTRAP

Example:

bootstrap: [AppComponent]

What can we inject here? the main component that will be generated by this module (top parent node for a component tree)


ENTRY COMPONENTS

Example:

entryComponents: [PopupComponent]

What can we inject here? dynamically generated components (for instance by using ViewContainerRef.createComponent())


EXPORT

Example:

export: [TextDirective, PopupComponent, BrowserModule]

What can we inject here? components, directives, modules or pipes that we would like to have access to them in another module (after importing this module)

Local Storage vs Cookies

Local storage can store up to 5mb offline data, whereas session can also store up to 5 mb data. But cookies can store only 4kb data in text format.

LOCAl and Session storage data in JSON format, thus easy to parse. But cookies data is in string format.

How do we download a blob url video

  1. Find the playlist/manifest with the developer tools network tab. There is always one, as that's how it works. It might have a m3u8 extension that you can type into the Filter. (The youtube-dl tool can also find the m3u8 tool automatically some time give it direct link to the webpage where the video is being displayed.)

  2. Give it to the youtube-dl tool (Download) . It can download much more than just YouTube. It'll auto-download each segment then combine everything with FFmpeg then discard the parts. There is a good chance it supports the site you want to download from natively, and you don't even need to do step #1.

  3. If you find a site that is stubborn and you run into 403 errors... Telerik Fiddler to the rescue. It can catch and save anything transmitted (such as the video file) as it acts as a local proxy. Everything you see/hear can be downloaded, unless it's DRM content like Spotify.

Note: in windows, you can use youtube-dl.exe using "Command Prompt" or creating a batch file. i.e

d:\youtube-dl.exe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbdFOwKHil0

OAuth 2.0 Authorization Header

You can still use the Authorization header with OAuth 2.0. There is a Bearer type specified in the Authorization header for use with OAuth bearer tokens (meaning the client app simply has to present ("bear") the token). The value of the header is the access token the client received from the Authorization Server.

It's documented in this spec: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6750#section-2.1

E.g.:

   GET /resource HTTP/1.1
   Host: server.example.com
   Authorization: Bearer mF_9.B5f-4.1JqM

Where mF_9.B5f-4.1JqM is your OAuth access token.

How to disable anchor "jump" when loading a page?

See my answer here: Stackoverflow Answer

The trick is to just remove the hashtag ASAP and store its value for your own use:

It is important that you do not put that part of the code in the $() or $(window).load() functions as it would be too late and the browser already has moved to the tag.

// store the hash (DON'T put this code inside the $() function, it has to be executed 
// right away before the browser can start scrolling!
var target = window.location.hash,
    target = target.replace('#', '');

// delete hash so the page won't scroll to it
window.location.hash = "";

// now whenever you are ready do whatever you want
// (in this case I use jQuery to scroll to the tag after the page has loaded)
$(window).on('load', function() {
    if (target) {
        $('html, body').animate({
            scrollTop: $("#" + target).offset().top
        }, 700, 'swing', function () {});
    }
});

How do I save a stream to a file in C#?

As highlighted by Tilendor in Jon Skeet's answer, streams have a CopyTo method since .NET 4.

var fileStream = File.Create("C:\\Path\\To\\File");
myOtherObject.InputStream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
myOtherObject.InputStream.CopyTo(fileStream);
fileStream.Close();

Or with the using syntax:

using (var fileStream = File.Create("C:\\Path\\To\\File"))
{
    myOtherObject.InputStream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
    myOtherObject.InputStream.CopyTo(fileStream);
}

Visual Studio 2008 Product Key in Registry?

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\Registration\PIDKEY

Visual Studio 2008:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\Registration\PIDKEY


For 64 bit Windows:


Visual Studio 2003:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\VisualStudio\7.0\Registration\PIDKEY

Visual Studio 2005:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\Registration\PIDKEY

Visual Studio 2008:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\Registration\PIDKEY


Notes:

  • Data is a GUID without dashes. Put a dash ( – ) after every 5 characters to convert to product key.
  • If PIDKEY value is empty try to look at the subfolders e.g.

    ...\Registration\1000.0x0000\PIDKEY

    or

    ...\Registration\2000.0x0000\PIDKEY

Build error: You must add a reference to System.Runtime

I was also facing this problem trying to run an ASP .NET MVC project after a minor update to our codebase, even though it compiled without errors:

Compiler Error Message: CS0012: The type 'System.Object' is defined in an assembly that is not referenced. You must add a reference to assembly 'System.Runtime, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'.

Our project had never run into this problem, so I was skeptical about changing configuration files before finding out the root cause. From the error logs I was able to locate this detailed compiler output which pointed out to what was really happening:

warning CS1685: The predefined type 'System.Runtime.CompilerServices.ExtensionAttribute' is defined in multiple assemblies in the global alias; using definition from 'c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\mscorlib.dll'

Apparently a new package added to our project was referencing an older version of the .NET Framework, causing the "definition in multiple assemblies" issue (CS1685), which led to the razor view compiler error at runtime.

I removed the incompatible package (System.Collections.Immutable.dll) and the problem stopped occurring. However, if the package cannot be removed in your project you will need to try Baahubali's answer.

How to get the current date/time in Java

Current Date using java 8: First, let's use java.time.LocalDate to get the current system date:

LocalDate localDate = LocalDate.now();

To get the date in any other timezone we can use LocalDate.now(ZoneId):

LocalDate localDate = LocalDate.now(ZoneId.of("GMT+02:30"));

We can also use java.time.LocalDateTime to get an instance of LocalDate:

LocalDateTime localDateTime = LocalDateTime.now();
LocalDate localDate = localDateTime.toLocalDate();

How to programmatically tell if a Bluetooth device is connected?

Add bluetooth permission to your AndroidManifest,

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH" />

Then use intent filters to listen to the ACTION_ACL_CONNECTED, ACTION_ACL_DISCONNECT_REQUESTED, and ACTION_ACL_DISCONNECTED broadcasts:

public void onCreate() {
    ...
    IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter();
    filter.addAction(BluetoothDevice.ACTION_ACL_CONNECTED);
    filter.addAction(BluetoothDevice.ACTION_ACL_DISCONNECT_REQUESTED);
    filter.addAction(BluetoothDevice.ACTION_ACL_DISCONNECTED);
    this.registerReceiver(mReceiver, filter);
}

//The BroadcastReceiver that listens for bluetooth broadcasts
private final BroadcastReceiver mReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        String action = intent.getAction();
        BluetoothDevice device = intent.getParcelableExtra(BluetoothDevice.EXTRA_DEVICE);

        if (BluetoothDevice.ACTION_FOUND.equals(action)) {
           ... //Device found
        }
        else if (BluetoothDevice.ACTION_ACL_CONNECTED.equals(action)) {
           ... //Device is now connected
        }
        else if (BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_DISCOVERY_FINISHED.equals(action)) {
           ... //Done searching
        }
        else if (BluetoothDevice.ACTION_ACL_DISCONNECT_REQUESTED.equals(action)) {
           ... //Device is about to disconnect
        }
        else if (BluetoothDevice.ACTION_ACL_DISCONNECTED.equals(action)) {
           ... //Device has disconnected
        }           
    }
};

A few notes:

  • There is no way to retrieve a list of connected devices at application startup. The Bluetooth API does not allow you to QUERY, instead it allows you to listen to CHANGES.
  • A hoaky work around to the above problem would be to retrieve the list of all known/paired devices... then trying to connect to each one (to determine if you're connected).
  • Alternatively, you could have a background service watch the Bluetooth API and write the device states to disk for your application to use at a later date.

I tried manually rebuilding, performing a clean and rebuild, and deleting the bin folder all of which did not work. My output path was already set to bin\
